REGIONAL SETTINGS
Keep Dates, Schedules, and Distances Familiar to Your Team
Make everyday information easier to read in the formats your team knows. FieldTask Regional Settings lets you choose your organization’s date format, set the schedule’s starting hour, select the first day of the week, and display distances in kilometers or miles.
Read Dates and Plan Work in Familiar Formats
Set up the preferences your team uses when reviewing dates, organizing the week, and interpreting distances. Regional Settings brings these controls together, helping you align FieldTask with your business’s everyday working conventions.
Schedule Start Time
Set the schedule’s starting hour using the hour selector and AM/PM options. Choose a starting point that suits your working day, whether your team begins in the morning or later in the day.
Start Day of the Week
Choose which day your organization’s week starts on. This preference affects how Attendance and Timesheets are organized and displayed, helping you review weekly information in a familiar order.
Distance Unit
Select kilometers or miles from the Distance Unit dropdown. Use the measurement your team recognizes when reading distance information, so they can interpret it without mentally converting between units.
Make Everyday Planning Easier to Read
Give your team dates they recognize, a week organized around your business, and distances in familiar units. Configure FieldTask’s regional preferences so everyday planning feels more natural—from reviewing schedules to checking weekly work records.
Frequently asked questions
What are Regional Settings in FieldTask?
Regional Settings controls date format, schedule start time, the first day of the week, and distance units. These preferences help you adapt how everyday information is presented to suit your organization’s working conventions.
Where can I find Regional Settings?
Open Settings from the FieldTask web app’s left sidebar, then select Regional Settings. The page groups the date and scheduling preferences together, with Distance Unit under Unit Settings.
Which date formats does FieldTask support?
You can choose from three formats:
- dd/mm/yyyy, such as 18/02/2026
- mm/dd/yyyy, such as 02/18/2026
- yyyy/mm/dd, such as 2026/02/18
Is the date format an organization setting?
Yes. FieldTask’s help guide describes date formatting as an organization preference that controls how dates are displayed across your organization.
Can I choose an AM or PM schedule start time?
Yes. The Schedule Starts At control includes an hour selector and separate AM/PM selection. Use them together to specify the schedule’s starting hour.
What does the first day of the week setting affect?
It determines which day your organization’s week starts on. FieldTask’s documentation specifically confirms that it affects how Attendance and Timesheets are organized and displayed.
Can I display distances in miles instead of kilometers?
Yes. Under Unit Settings, open the Distance Unit dropdown and choose Kilometers or Miles, depending on the measurement your team prefers.
How do I know a date-format change has been applied?
Selecting a different date format triggers an update confirmation. The recording shows a “Date and time settings updated” message after the selection changes, without a separate Save button for that control.
