How do I set the office's country, language, currency and formats?

The country, language, currency, time zone and the formats the office uses for dates, times and amounts.

Settings → Office → Region & format tells Ergothiki where the office works. The country brings its own defaults; every other choice also offers «Country default».

The «Region & format» page sets country, language, currency, time zone and formats, and whatever stays on «Country default» follows the country. — Office settings › Office › Region & format

Choice	What it changes
Office country	The procedures, catalogues and public holidays you are offered, and how dates and numbers are written
Office language	The language for members who have not chosen their own
Currency	The currency of amounts
Time zone · First day of the week · Time format	How times and weeks read (24-hour or 12-hour clock)
Paper size	The paper for printing and for PDFs

How it will look shows a date, a time and an amount with your choices straight away. If you change the currency you are asked to confirm: amounts already recorded are not converted.

Each member can choose their own language, time zone and time format in Account › Profile & password. The office's choices are changed by whoever changes its settings:

Permission	Office Owner	Office administrator	Project manager	Technical staff	Secretariat	Accounting	Website manager
Change the office settings	yes	yes	no	no	no	no	no
