Locale

Allows to set the default language of the Zammad instance. The here defined locale mostly acts as a fallback for:

  • user preferences (if Zammad can’t detect the users locale)

  • CSV output (reporting, time accounting)

  • notifications

Timezone

Define the timezone of your Zammad installation.

Note

This does not have any effect on timings for your agents or how Zammad stores date and time values.

Warning

Changing this value has direct consequences on the following areas:

  • Scheduler tasks

  • search indexing (and thus reporting)

  • notifications

  • calendar subscriptions

  • browser printing

Please note that some of above are fallbacks in case Zammad could not detect the agents timezone correctly.

Pretty Date

This setting allows you to define how Zammad should display time stamps within the interface to all users.

Note

This does not have any effect on how Zammad returns e.g. time values via variables.

Choose in between the following options:
relative

This timestamp shows a relative time span until it switches to a date. Over time, it will change as follows:

  • just now

  • 5 minutes ago

  • 3 days 1 hour ago

  • 03/04/2022

Tip

Hovering the timestamp helps, you’ll always get a clean timestamp then.

absolute

This timestamp always includes the week day. For one week after creation, the timestamp will not contain the date itself: Thursday 18:35.

After a week it will switch to: Friday 4. Mar 16:00.

timestamp

This will cause Zammad to show a complete timestamp according to your locale defaults. For English this could be e.g. 2022/12/03 2:40 pm or for German e.g. 12.03.2022 14:40.

Default setting: relative.
