Summary
Your portal's General Settings include its name, the language for titles and labels, the timezone and how learners can access the portal.
General settings are available to all customers.

Learners can set their own portal language. Their choice overrides the portal setting, for their account. See Your profile: the learner view.
Date format
The date format field affects the display of calendar pickers on your portal: for ILTs, for example. The screenshot shows an example of a date picker display, with yyyy-mm-dd setting in the portal.
Timezone
Set the default timezone for your portal from the dropdown menu. You always see courses and sessions according to your portal's timezone.
Learners can set their portal timezone. Their choice overrides the portal setting for their account, so they see the same activities in their local time. See Your profile: the learner view.
The following screenshot shows sessions planned for multiple regions, but times are according to the portal timezone of GMT+0.
