Date, time, and language preferences
Pick the timezone Queringo shows timestamps in, choose 12 or 24-hour time, and set how dates read. Saved per user.
Queringo formats every timestamp it shows you using three personal preferences: your timezone, hour format, and date format. All three live on your account, so they follow you to every workspace and every device you sign in from.
Where these settings apply
- The activity feed, audit log, billing receipts, alert history, notifications, and every other in-app timestamp.
- Emails Queringo sends you (trial reminders, data-source failure alerts, weekly digests).
- The "Last 7 days" / "Today" range filters across admin and reporting screens, which interpret "today" using your local calendar.
Workspace-level scheduled jobs (the daily AI Insights scan, for example) keep their own timezone, picked by an admin. Your personal display preferences do not change when those jobs run; they only change how their results are shown to you.
Set your timezone
- Open Preferences
Go to Settings -> Preferences in the left sidebar.
- Pick a timezone
Click the Timezone picker and search by city ("mumbai"), country ("japan"), abbreviation ("IST", "PST"), or UTC offset ("+5:30"). Common zones surface at the top.
- Or pick Auto
Select Auto (follow your browser) at the top of the list. Queringo will detect your timezone from each device you sign in on, so a laptop in Berlin and a phone in Bangalore both show you local time without changing the setting.
Changes save the moment you pick. There is no separate Save button.
Choose your hour and date format
The Hour format option controls 12-hour ("3:24 PM") versus 24-hour ("15:24") time. The Date format option controls whether dates read as "May 31, 2026", "31 May 2026", or "2026-05-31".
Leave either on Follow my language to let your locale pick the default (for example, en-GB uses 24-hour time and day-month-year; en-US uses 12-hour time and month-day-year). Pin a specific value when you want to override that default.
The live Preview strip at the bottom of the card shows what the current combination looks like, so you can sanity-check the layout before relying on it across the rest of the app.
How Auto and pinned zones behave
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Auto | Re-detects your timezone every session from the browser. Best if you travel a lot or use multiple devices. |
| Pinned zone (for example, Asia/Kolkata) | Always renders in that zone, regardless of where the device is. Best if you work to a fixed schedule with teammates in one place. |
Both modes save to your account. Pin a specific zone whenever you want one fixed clock face across devices; switch back to Auto whenever you want the timezone to follow your location again.
Where the workspace timezone shows up
Some scheduled features (most visibly the AI Insights daily scan) are anchored to a workspace timezone that an account admin picks. You will see that timezone called out next to the schedule, with a hint showing what that means on your wall clock. Your personal display preferences do not move those schedules; they only change how the run results are rendered for you afterward.
Troubleshooting
- Timestamps look right in the app but wrong in emails
Email render uses the same preferences as the app, but the recipient is whoever signed up. If you receive an email at a forwarded address you do not have a Queringo account on, the message renders in UTC. Sign in on the receiving account once and pick a timezone there.
- A timezone I'm in is not in the list
The list contains every IANA timezone your browser knows about, which is the standard tz database. If a brand-new zone has not made it into your browser yet, pick the nearest one with the same UTC offset and we will pick up the new name on your next browser update.
- Audit log shows times in the wrong zone
Reload the page after changing the timezone in Preferences. Most surfaces pick up the new zone immediately, but server-side rendered pages may briefly show the previous value until the next render. A reload always fixes it.
What's next
- Adjust language if you want strings (not timestamps) localised; the picker is on the same Preferences page.
- Tune the AI Insights scan time at the workspace level if you are an admin.
- Manage your account-level identity from Profile.
