# System Settings

The **System Core Settings** in WhatsMark allow administrators to configure essential parameters that affect the entire application. These include localization, date/time formatting, and language preferences — all of which directly influence how users interact with the system globally.

## Localization Settings

Localization ensures that the application aligns with your geographic, linguistic, and cultural norms. It includes timezone, date and time display preferences, and the default system language.

### Timezone

* **What it does:**
  Sets the default timezone for all system-generated timestamps such as logs, task schedules, notifications, and user activity tracking.

* **Why it matters:**
  Correct timezone configuration ensures accurate scheduling, deadlines, and reporting across your team or organization.

* **Example:**
  `Asia/Kolkata` – India Standard Time (IST)

* **Tip:**
  If your team is distributed globally, consider aligning this with your headquarters or operational base. Users may be able to override this in their personal settings if supported.

### Date Format

* **What it does:**
  Defines how dates are displayed throughout WhatsMark, including in dashboards, reports, forms, and notifications.

* **Why it matters:**
  A familiar date format improves user comfort and reduces confusion, especially in international teams where formats like `MM/DD/YYYY` and `DD/MM/YYYY` can be interpreted differently.

* **Supported formats include:**

  * `Y-m-d` → `2025-07-30`
  * `d-m-Y` → `30-07-2025`
  * `m/d/Y` → `07/30/2025`

* **Example setting:**
  `Y-m-d`

### Time Format

* **What it does:**
  Determines whether time is shown in 12-hour format with AM/PM or 24-hour military-style format.

* **Why it matters:**
  Time format preference varies by region and user type. This setting ensures consistency across the platform's UI.

* **Options:**

  * `12 Hours` → e.g., `3:30 PM`
  * `24 Hours` → e.g., `15:30`

* **Example setting:**
  `12 Hours`

### Default Language

* **What it does:**
  Sets the default language for the WhatsMark user interface, system messages, labels, and notifications.

* **Why it matters:**
  This is essential for providing an inclusive and localized experience for users who speak different languages.

* **Example:**
  `English`

* **Tip:**
  Make sure your chosen language is supported by your custom content (e.g., templates, help articles, etc.) for consistency.

## How to Apply Changes

1. Navigate to:
   **System Settings → System → System Core Settings**
2. Modify the localization values as needed.
3. Click the **Save Changes** button to apply your configurations.

> These settings take effect system-wide unless overridden at the user level (if the platform allows personal preferences).

By configuring these system-level settings, WhatsMark becomes better aligned with your operational region, improves user comprehension, and creates a seamless experience across time zones and cultures.
