# General workspace settings

> Configure your workspace name, language, timezone, and unit system

{/* AUDIT NOTE: Nav "Settings → Workspace → General" confirmed (URL /settings/workspace/general). Page showed "No workspace found" with this account — field names (Workspace name, Back-office language, Display format, Time zone, Unit system, Workspace ID, Organization ID) are unverified but consistent with the broader app model. */}

General workspace settings define the default configuration for all users in your workspace. These include the workspace name, back-office language, timezone, and unit system. Individual users can override some of these defaults in their personal profile settings.

<Note>You must have the **Admin** role to access and modify these settings.</Note>

## Overview

General settings apply workspace-wide and establish the baseline configuration for your team. They control how dates, times, numbers, and currencies appear throughout Qwoty. Changes to these settings affect all users immediately, though users can customize certain preferences individually.

## Accessing general settings

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Click **Settings** in the left side menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to General">
    In the **Workspace** section, click **General**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Available settings

### Workspace name

The workspace name identifies your environment and appears to all team members. Choose a name that clearly represents your organization or team.

### Back-office language

Select the default language for the Qwoty interface. This setting determines the language for menus, buttons, labels, and system messages. Users can override this in their profile to work in their preferred language.

### Display format

The display format shows how numbers and currencies render in the interface. This field is read-only and updates automatically based on the selected back-office language. It follows standard locale conventions for thousands separators, decimal points, and currency symbols.

### Time zone

The workspace timezone controls how Qwoty displays and records timestamps for quotes, approvals, signatures, and activity logs. Select the timezone that matches your primary business location.

<Tip>All timestamps in the system adjust to this timezone. Users see dates and times consistently across reports, quote histories, and the Dealroom.</Tip>

### Unit system

Choose the measurement system that matches your products and regional conventions:

* **Metric system**: kilometers, kilograms, liters, Celsius
* **Imperial system**: miles, pounds, gallons, Fahrenheit

This setting affects how product dimensions, weights, and volumes display in quotes and the product catalog.

## Technical identifiers

Two read-only identifiers appear at the bottom of the general settings page:

| Identifier          | Purpose                                           |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Workspace ID**    | Unique technical identifier for your workspace    |
| **Organization ID** | Unique technical identifier for your organization |

<Info>Copy these identifiers when contacting Qwoty support or configuring API integrations. They help technical teams identify your environment quickly.</Info>

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can users choose their own language?">
    Yes. Each user can customize their language and display format in their profile settings. Workspace settings serve as default values for new users and those who haven't set a preference.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when I change the timezone?">
    Existing timestamps remain accurate but display according to the new timezone. For example, a quote created at 2:00 PM EST will show as 11:00 AM PST if you switch to Pacific time.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the unit system affect product catalog data?">
    The unit system controls how units display, but it doesn't automatically convert existing product data. If you switch from metric to imperial, update product specifications manually to ensure accuracy.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who can see the workspace and organization IDs?">
    Any user with access to the general settings page can view these identifiers. Only **Admin** users can access this page by default.
