Date, Time Zone and Language
These settings decide how UTMStack v12 shows dates and times, and which language it uses by default. They change only what people see: UTMStack always stores logs and alerts with UTC timestamps.
Date, time zone and date format
Go to Configure > Settings > Date Format. The page title is Date & time.
| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Time zone | The time zone used to show timestamps everywhere in the product. Choose a time zone, or Browser default to use each viewer's own computer setting. The page shows the current time in the chosen zone. | UTC |
| Date format | How dates and times are written: Short, Medium, Long or Full. | Medium |
Click Save changes.
The date format is also used on the sign-in screens, before anyone signs in.
Stored data stays in UTC. When you search logs by time or compare UTMStack with other systems, remember that the time zone setting changes only the display.
Default language
Go to Configure > Settings > Language. The page title is Platform language.
Default language is used for:
The sign-in screens.
Users who have not chosen their own language.
Emails that UTMStack sends (invitations, password resets, two-step codes, alerts and incidents) are always in English.
Choose a language and click Save. The default is English.
The interface is available in English, Español (Spanish), Português (Portuguese), Français (French), Deutsch (German), Italiano (Italian) and Русский (Russian).
Each user's own language
Each user can choose their own interface language. It overrides the default language for that user.
In the top bar, open the avatar menu and choose Language, or
Open Profile and change Language under Personal information. Choose System default to follow the platform's default language.
Settings and tenants
On a multi-tenant licence, each tenant can set its own time zone, date format and default language. Until a tenant saves its own values, it uses the values of the default tenant. See Multi-Tenancy Overview.
Common questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who can change these settings? | Users with config.write; of the built-in roles, the Administrator. Everyone can read them. |
| Times in an exported file or report differ from the screen | Stored times are UTC. Check whether the export shows UTC or your chosen time zone, and compare with the same zone. |
| A user still sees another language after I changed the default | The user chose their own language, or their browser remembers a language picked earlier. They can choose System default in their Profile, or pick the language from the avatar menu. |
