General Settings
A team’s settings are the basics that everything else rests on — its name, its time zone, whether the schedule is shared publicly, and how pay periods line up.
Name & time zone
1
The name
The team’s name shows up in menus, on the calendar, and anywhere the team is referenced.
It’s chosen when the team is created.
2
The time zone
Every shift time is shown in this zone, so it matters more than anything else here. It’s
also set when the team is created.
Set at creation — not editable here yet
Today the name and time zone are fixed when the team is created; the Settings page doesn’t let
you change them yet. If either looks wrong, ask whoever set up your account to fix it.
General Settings FAQ
Why does the time zone matter so much?
Every shift time is shown in the team’s time zone. If it’s set wrong, shifts look like they’re at the wrong hour for everyone. It’s set when the team is created — if yours looks wrong, ask whoever set up your account to correct it.
What is the public calendar?
A read-only view of the schedule you can share with people who don’t have an account — handy for posting coverage where everyone can see it. You choose whether to turn it on.
What are pay periods for?
They mark out the stretches your payroll runs on (like every two weeks). With them set, stats and totals line up with how you actually pay people.
