**Platform -> Defaults** in your admin sidebar.

Three answers the platform falls back on wherever nothing more specific was
said: the timezone your firm works in, the currency it prices and reports in,
and the profit split a funded trader keeps when the challenge does not set one.

The form runs down the left, with under the clock and the currency what runs on
them. The column beside it says what a change reaches and stays in view while
you scroll. It is worked out from the form as you type, so you see what moves
before you save: the time in the zone you picked, the currency you would end up
in and what is sold in it, and which challenges pay the split. On a narrow
screen each part of that column sits under its own setting. The line above the
title says what is saved right now.

## Who can change what

| Permission                | What it allows                                                                   |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `view_settings`           | Open the screen and read the three settings and what they reach                  |
| `manage_settings`         | Change them                                                                      |
| `view_activity_logs`      | Also see the recent changes at the bottom, each a link to its entry              |
| `view_challenges`         | Names in the profit split column link to the challenge                           |
| `view_accounts`           | See how many funded accounts trade on the challenges that pay the split          |
| `view_coupons`            | The currency warning counts your coupons with an amount off                      |
| `view_affiliate_settings` | The currency warning names your affiliate CPA                                    |
| `view_payments`           | The warning about a missing payment account links to where you add one           |

Somebody who may only read gets no save dock, every field disabled, and a line
saying which permission changing them takes.

## Clock

The timezone your firm works in, picked from a searchable list of every zone
there is, grouped by part of the world. Search by city, by the zone's name or
by its distance from UTC, such as `UTC+2` or `+05:30`. Each zone shows its
local time and its offset today, which moves with daylight saving. When your
own browser runs in another zone than the one picked, a button sets yours in
one click.

Beside it you see the time and the day there now, and when you pick another
zone, how many hours earlier or later a day of your firm starts than it does
today.

What runs on this clock:

- The days and periods of your dashboard, Revenue, Affiliates and the Activity
  log.
- When deals, coupons and events start and end, which you enter in this zone.
- The days of your traders' journal and the greeting on their dashboard.
- New calendars for your team.

A single moment, such as when a payment came in, still shows in the timezone of
whoever looks at it.

## Currency

Two choices:

| Choice                        | What happens                                                                                     |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Follow your payment account   | The platform uses what your connected account pays out in, so prices and payouts never disagree |
| A currency of your own        | For a firm that prices in something other than what its account pays out in                     |

A currency of your own can be any of 22: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF and
NZD, and the currency of every country a payment account can be opened in. The
one your account pays out in, and the one you already had, always stay on the
list.

What runs on this currency: the money chart on your dashboard, a sale or an
account without a currency of its own, new challenges (which start priced in
it), and affiliate CPA commissions, which are booked in it.

Beside it you see the currency in use and where it comes from (your own choice,
or your account and the country it is registered in), and how many of your
challenges on sale are priced in each currency. A trader always pays in the
currency of the challenge they buy.

Under that, a line for everything about the choice that cannot work as the form
stands:

- While following, no payment account is connected, or it has not told us its
  currency yet, so the platform prices in USD until it does.
- A challenge can only be priced in USD, EUR or GBP. With any other currency, a
  new challenge has to be moved to one of those three before it saves, and the
  dashboard's money chart counts only sales in your currency.
- None of your challenges on sale is priced in the currency you picked.
- Amounts you set in the old currency keep their number. Nothing is converted,
  so an affiliate CPA of 10 USD becomes 10 EUR, and a coupon with a fixed
  discount keeps its number too. The warning names which of yours this touches,
  as far as you may see them: the CPA with `view_affiliate_settings`, the
  coupons with `view_coupons`.

## Profit split

The share of the profit a funded trader keeps when the funded phase of their
challenge sets no split of its own. A split on the challenge always wins.

It has to be above 0 and at most 100, with at most two decimals, such as `82.5`.
A comma works as the decimal point. Before this rule a split of 0 could be
saved, and payouts then paid 80 percent without saying so. A firm that still
has a 0 or nothing saved sees 80 here, because that is what is paid.

Beside it you see which challenges pay this split right now (the first eight by
name, with how many funded accounts trade on each, and a count of the rest),
how many funded accounts trade on them in total, the range of splits the other
challenges set themselves, and what a trader and your firm each get on a profit
of 1,000 in your currency. The account counts need `view_accounts`.

## Recent changes

For somebody with `view_activity_logs`, the last six changes to these three
settings: what changed from what to what, who did it and when. Each opens its
entry in the [Activity log](/docs/platform/admin/activity-log), which has the
rest. Changes made by Propper staff are left out, as they are in the log
itself.

## Saving

One save dock at the bottom counts what you changed, one per setting. Save with
the button or `Cmd+S` / `Ctrl+S`, or Discard to go back to what is saved. Only
the settings you changed are sent, so a colleague who fixes the split at the
same time does not undo the timezone you just set. Leaving the screen with
unsaved changes asks first.

## In the older designs

On Propper - OG and Tactical the screen keeps its earlier form: the same three
settings without the column beside them, a timezone from a list of eighteen
cities and a currency of your own from eight. A zone or currency picked here
outside those lists stays saved and in use there, even though their list cannot
show it. The split follows the same rule of above 0 and at most two decimals.
