# Overview of Default Settings

## General Settings – Organisation Configuration
**Applies to:** Admin users who manage global settings for your workspace.

## Before You Start
* Only users with Administrator privileges can make these changes.
* **Important:** “Changes will only apply to new users. Existing users will retain their current settings.”
* Review your organisation’s time-zone, work hours and module naming conventions before doing this.

## Step-by-Step Configuration:
### 1. Log in to the website and navigate to General Settings
* Log in with an Admin account.
* Go to **Settings** → **Admin Settings** → **Default Settings** → **General Settings**.

* For each week-type, select the days your organisation observes as off. For example:
    * Even Week: Friday (F)
    * Odd Week: Friday (F)
* If different teams/users have custom weekly offs, click **Configure for teams/users** to set per-team or per-user exceptions.

### 5. Define Organisation Work Time
* Under **Organisation Work Time**, set the start time and end time.

    * Example: From **10:00 am** to **07:00 pm**
* This defines default working hours for your organisation (for timesheets, monitoring, etc.).

### 6. (Optional) Rename Modules
* Toggle the **Rename Modules** switch if your organisation wants to change the display-names of modules.

* Under the **Section / Display Name** list, you may update names such as:SectionDisplay NameL1GroupL2ClientL3MatteremployeeMembernarrationNarrationtaskTasksubtaskSubTasktimesheetActivity LogsmanagerActivity Log
* After editing, check how these modules appear in the user interface to ensure clarity for users.

### 7. Save Changes
* Once you’ve made all desired changes, click **Save** to apply.
* If you decide not to proceed, click **Cancel** to discard.


## What Happens After Changes
* The new settings will apply **only to new users** created after the change. (The company settings is applied to every new users only post changes and the admins can override via user module)
* Existing user accounts will continue using their previous settings until updated individually.
* Module renames will reflect in the UI globally (for new and existing users) once saved.


## Best Practices & Tips
* Coordinate with your HR/Operations team to confirm official working hours, weekly offs and time zones before making changes.
* If your organisation spans multiple regions, consider whether you need to create team-specific settings via “Configure for teams/users”.
* When renaming modules, choose terms your users recognise to avoid confusion.
* Review this configuration when your organisation’s fiscal year, work hours or weekly-off policy changes.
