Workspace country
The workspace country fills in defaults: the currency of new estimates, the working-day calendar for the timeline and the time zone. You only fix what does not fit.
What the country sets
Section titled “What the country sets”| Country | Default currency | Working-day calendar |
|---|---|---|
| Eurozone | EUR | TARGET2, ECB payment system closing days |
| USA | USD | US federal holidays (OPM) |
| Georgia | GEL | Georgian production calendar |
| Kazakhstan | KZT | Kazakh production calendar |
| China | CNY | Chinese production calendar (State Council) |
| Belarus | BYN | Belarusian production calendar |
| Russia | RUB | Russian production calendar |
The country also sets the FX rate source: the workspace settings start with your country's source, and you can override it. For rates, see Currencies and rates.
How the country is detected on first sign-in
Section titled “How the country is detected on first sign-in”When you create a workspace, Dead Point picks a country from hints: the browser time zone, the browser language and the country of your IP address. If none of them fits, the Eurozone is set. Russia is never picked automatically: select it manually in the workspace settings (General tab, Time and region section, Country field).
The Detected country banner shows the result: a flag, the country name and a label saying where it came from.
| Banner label | Where the country comes from |
|---|---|
| By browser timezone | The browser time zone |
| By browser language | The region in the browser language settings |
| By IP | The country of the IP address |
| Fallback default | No hint matched, the Eurozone is used |

Section titled “Address, autosave and preview”Workspace address
Section titled “Workspace address”The Address section of the General tab sets part of the links to projects and estimates (the URL address field takes Latin letters, digits and hyphens). The address does not change when you rename the workspace. If you change it by hand, links to projects with the old address stop opening, while the public estimate links your clients have stay the same.

The preview panel
Section titled “The preview panel”Next to the settings on the General tab sits the Preview panel. It shows how a change looks in the product and follows the section you click into. Sections that have a preview carry the has preview badge.

| Payment details | The How to pay block as the client sees it; until the details are filled in, the panel warns that the client won't see a payment block |
| Custom rates and Rate source | An estimate converted to the workspace currency at the chosen rate: the rate, its source and the date |
