Workspace Defaults — timezone, currency, language

Last updated: May 19, 2026

Workspace Defaults — timezone, currency, language

Open Settings → Team → Workspace Defaults to set the workspace-wide defaults: business name, currency, timezone, language, daily digest time. These apply to every member unless they override personally (e.g. their own display language).

Who is this for

Admins doing the initial workspace setup, or fixing an inherited workspace with wrong defaults that affect everyone (mis-labeled currency in reports, wrong digest time, etc.).

What's editable

Field

Default value

Affects

Business / workspace name

from onboarding wizard

invoices, OG cards, workspace switcher label

Default currency

USD or EUR per signup region

mixed-currency aggregation in cross-channel reports

Timezone

from onboarding wizard

rule evaluation cutoff, daily digest delivery time, dashboard "Today" filter, audit log display

Default language

en

new-user UI language (individuals can override in their personal settings)

Default digest time

09:00 (workspace TZ)

when the daily / weekly email digest gets delivered

Number / date format

derived from language

how dates and numbers appear (1.000,50 vs 1,000.50; DD/MM vs MM/DD)

How to update

Step 1: Open Workspace Defaults

Navigate to Settings → Team → Workspace Defaults. URL: /settings/team/workspace-defaults.

Step 2: Edit fields

Each field has its own editor:

  • Business name: text input, 50 chars max

  • Currency: dropdown of supported currencies

  • Timezone: searchable dropdown of IANA timezones (e.g. Europe/Rome, America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo)

  • Default language: dropdown of supported languages (en, it, es, fr, de, pt, nl, pl, ...)

  • Daily digest time: time picker (HH:MM in workspace TZ)

Step 3: Save

Click Save changes per field, or Save all at the bottom for a batched update.

Step 4: Wait for propagation

Most defaults take effect immediately. Analytics that depend on timezone (daily aggregation) recompute on the next 15-minute sync cycle.

Workspace defaults vs personal preferences

Some settings can be overridden per-user:

Setting

Workspace default

Personal override

Language

yes

yes — at /settings/personal/preferences

Timezone display

yes (used for backend ops)

yes — for own UI clock

Date/number format

follows language

follows personal language override

Currency

yes

no — reports always use workspace currency in cross-channel mode

Theme / appearance

no

yes — at /settings/personal/appearance

In short: things that affect shared computations (digest time, currency aggregation, rule evaluation) live at workspace level. Things that affect what only YOU see (theme, your clock display) live at personal level.

Why timezone matters

The workspace timezone affects:

  • When daily rules fire: a rule "evaluate every day at midnight" fires at workspace-midnight, not server-midnight

  • When the daily digest arrives: configured time in workspace TZ

  • The "Today" date range: dashboard shows from workspace-midnight, not your browser's local

  • Audit log timestamps: displayed in workspace TZ by default (toggle to UTC available)

Cross-team distributed setups (Italy + US team in the same workspace) should pick the timezone where the decision-making team operates — usually the workspace owner's. Individuals see their personal clock in the header regardless.

Why currency matters

Wevion connects to multiple ad accounts, each with its own currency. The workspace currency is used:

  • In Cross-Channel Analytics to aggregate spend across currencies (auto-converted via daily FX rate)

  • In dashboard KPI strip totals

  • In Stripe invoices (your billing currency, set at signup — see acc-107)

Single-platform reports keep each ad account's native currency. So Meta US account = USD, Meta IT account = EUR, both visible per-account. Only the cross-channel rollup uses workspace currency.

Changing currency mid-life

You can change workspace currency at any time. Existing data isn't re-converted retroactively — the new currency applies going forward.

Important: changing workspace currency does not change your Stripe billing currency. That's set at subscription start and tied to the Stripe customer. To change billing currency, see acc-107 currency notes.

Changing timezone mid-life

Same rule: applies going forward. Historical reports keep their original timestamps (already-aggregated daily buckets are not re-bucketed). New aggregations from now on use the new TZ.

If you change TZ by more than a few hours, expect a temporary discontinuity in daily charts (one day might appear shorter or longer than 24 hours of data). It self-corrects within 1-2 days.

Default language vs interface language

  • Default workspace language = the language new users see on first login

  • Individual interface language = what each user sees personally; overrides the workspace default

Changing workspace default does not force change on existing users. They keep their personal selection.

What you'll see

After saving:

  • A toast: "Workspace defaults updated"

  • Audit log entry (action: workspace_defaults_change, metadata: { field, old_value, new_value })

  • Next dashboard load reflects the change

  • Next daily digest uses the new time / language

Common issues

  • Timezone search doesn't find my city: try a major nearby city (Europe/London for UK, America/Los_Angeles for SF, etc.). Wevion uses IANA names.

  • Reports still in old currency after change: refresh once; if persists, wait for next 15-min sync.

  • Daily digest didn't arrive at new time: change applies from the next day forward, not retroactively for today's scheduled run.

  • Some teammates' UI didn't change language: they have a personal override. They can change at /settings/personal/preferences.

  • Wrong currency in newly-created campaign: campaigns inherit their ad account's currency, not the workspace default. Cannot mix currencies within one campaign.
