Workspace time zone is set during workspace creation, and can be edited from Workspace profile settings, in the workspace settings menu.
The workspace time zone is used as the workspace’s local clock for date-sensitive display and reporting logic.
In practice, it affects:
- Date display for timestamp-based values: where the app has a timestamp or Date value, it converts that value into the workspace time zone before showing the day/month/year.
- Workspace date formatting: the time zone works together with the workspace date format setting, so the app first decides the correct workspace-local date, then displays it in the selected format.
- Current reporting period detection: dashboard/reporting logic uses the workspace-local date to decide which cashflow period is “current”. This matters near midnight and for users in different countries.
- Dashboard and account date labels: several dashboard, account, net worth, reporting, and settings labels use workspace-aware formatting.
- Audit of setting changes: changing the workspace profile, including time zone, is recorded as a governance/audit event.
Plain stored calendar dates, such as a transaction date stored as YYYY-MM-DD, are generally treated as that date and are not shifted by time zone. Time zone mainly matters where the app is interpreting timestamps or deciding what “today” means for the workspace.
