# User defaults

The **User defaults** page contains user profile settings applied to every new user account. Later, users can change their account settings. It consists of two sections: **Regional settings** and **UI settings**.

## Regional settings

You can set the default time zone, date / time format, and measurement system, as well as enable SMS transliteration. These settings are used when your users log in to the system for the first time.

To ensure your workspace aligns with local standards or personal preference, you can choose from one of seven date formats:

* Default (DD/MM/YYYY): The standard numerical format using forward slashes.
* DD.MM.YYYY: A numerical format using dots as separators (e.g., 01.12.2021).
* DD/MM/YYYY': A variation of the standard numerical format.
* MM-DD-YYYY: The month-first numerical format common in North America, using hyphens.
* YYYY-MM-DD: The ISO standard format, ideal for sorting and technical clarity.
* DD MMM YYYY: An alphanumeric format using an abbreviated month (e.g., 1 Dec 2021).
* DD MMMM YYYY: A full alphanumeric format showing the month in its entirety (e.g., 1 December 2021).

The following time formats are available:

* Default
* 12-hour clock
* 24-hour clock

You may choose from the following measurement systems:

* Metric (km, liter)
* Metric + gallons US (km, gallon)
* Imperial (mile, gallon)
* US (mile, gallon)
* Nautical (nautimal mile, knot)

## UI settings

Here you can choose a default menu preset created using the menu editor. For more information about creating presets, see [Menu editor](/docs/admin/settings/custom-menu-editor.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/admin/settings/user-defaults.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
