Localization
Localization settings control how dates, times, and currency are displayed throughout EquipDash -- in your dashboard, on bookings, in the booking widget, and in customer-facing emails. Getting these right from the start saves confusion later.
Configuring Your Localization Settings
- Click Settings in the sidebar.
- Select Localization from the settings menu.
- Configure the following:
Timezone
- Click the Timezone dropdown and search for your timezone (e.g., "America/New_York" or "America/Los_Angeles").
- Select the correct timezone from the results.
Currency
- Click the Currency dropdown and search for your currency (e.g., "USD" or "EUR").
- Select the correct currency from the results.
caution
You can only change your currency before any bookings have been created. Once you have bookings in the system, the currency is locked to protect financial data integrity. Contact support if you need help changing it after bookings exist.
Date Format
- Choose your preferred date format from the dropdown. Options include Month Day, Year (e.g., Feb 26, 2026) and Day Month, Year (e.g., 26 Feb, 2026).
- Click Update.
Where These Settings Apply
| Setting | Where it appears |
|---|---|
| Timezone | All date/time displays, calendar, booking times, email timestamps |
| Currency | Pricing, invoices, receipts, booking widget, reports |
| Date Format | Date pickers, booking details, reports, emails |
Things to Keep in Mind
- Your timezone affects when automated emails are sent (e.g., booking reminders) and how times display on your calendar.
- Changing the timezone does not alter existing booking times -- they are stored in UTC and converted for display.
- The date format applies everywhere in the app, including date pickers and exported reports.
