The Regional Settings dialog box lets you define the default regional settings for new user accounts (Language and Country). The default values are English and United States of America.
Typically, if your organization has offices in multiple countries, you would set your regional defaults to that of your headquarters. This way all new user accounts default to this setting. For user accounts that are located in other countries, you can update the individual user account country and/or language as necessary from the New User dialog box, Regional Settings tab. See Create a User Account.
From the Regional Settings dialog box you can also specify the following:
- Allow users to set their regional settings preference - When this check box is selected, users can modify their regional settings in the Windows Client through the Options dialog box or the Web Client through the My InterAction page.
- Ask users to confirm their regional settings at log in - This check box is only active when the Allow users to set... check box is selected. If selected, the user is prompted to confirm the regional settings the first time he or she logs into the Windows or Web Client, or accesses a Contact Details page through integration with your Personal Information Manager. The user can either confirm the settings or make any necessary changes.
