General Settings
Time display, booking, and timezone preferences that affect all modules are no longer collected under one "General" tab - they're split across a few tabs in the Configuration group of Settings.
Accessing These Settings
Global sidebar → Settings, then in the Configuration group:
| Tab | Contains |
|---|---|
| Time & units | Time Display Unit |
| Booking & Fields | Working Days (only shown if no Workload Scheme is configured for the user) |
| Timezone & defaults | Timezone Mode, Default Time Range |
| Period Configuration | "Week starts on" (replaces the old "First Day of Week" label), tied to approval period cycles |
There is no "Hours Per Day" control anywhere in this group anymore - per-user daily capacity comes from Workload Schemes, configured under Settings → Staff.
Time Display Unit
| Option | Example |
|---|---|
| Jira default | Follows the Jira instance format |
| Hours/Minutes | 2h 30m |
| Hours | 2.5h |
| Days | 0.3d |
Timezone Mode
| Mode | Best For |
|---|---|
| Jira timezone | Co-located teams; single timezone |
| User's timezone | Distributed teams; each user sees their local time |
| My timezone | Individual override based on browser timezone |
Applying Changes
Changes apply globally and immediately - no restart or page reload required.
Tips
- Review these settings after initial installation before any team members start logging time
- Configure Workload Schemes (Settings → Staff) to reflect actual contracted hours per person or role, rather than relying on one global number
- Choose User's timezone for distributed or remote teams to avoid timestamp confusion
