Region

The Region section has several different options that will change how numbers, dates and times are displayed.

  • Locale: Influences the way ShareVision displays numbers (including currency), dates, and time
    • An example of this is the way dates are shown when English (Canada) is selected versus English (United States)
      • English (Canada)                                                                                                                        
      • English (United States)                                                                                                             
  • Sort Order: Changes the way things are sorted on your site to match your Sort selection
  • Set Your Calendar: ShareVision automatically sets the calendar to the Gregorian, many other styles are available to suit whatever your needs may be. 
  • Enable an Alternate Calendar: If you'd like information for an additional calendar displayed you can enable an alternate calendar. The alternate calendar will provide extra information on the calendar features. 
  • Define Your Work Week: In this section you can choose what days entail your organizations 'work week', including Start Time and End Time. In addition, you can select which day is the start of the week and which week is the first one of the year. 
  • Time Format: You have the option of a 12 hour or 24 hour format. 
    • Using the 12 hour format, AM and PM will be used to distinguish times.
    • The 24 hour format starts at midnight (0:00) and runs through the day on a 24 hour format. Ex: 6:30 PM is 18:30
