FieldEx allows you to personalise your experience by selecting a preferred interface language and default time zone. This ensures accurate scheduling, proper date displays, and familiar terminology especially for distributed or multilingual teams.
This article explains:
How to change your display language
Where to update the default system time zone
How language customisation behaves across translations
Set Your Preferred Language
Path: Top Navigation Bar > Language Dropdown
Each user can select a preferred interface language for their account. This affects all menu items, module labels, system buttons, and help tooltips.
Step 1: Open the Language Selector
Click the Language dropdown in the top-right corner of the FieldEx interface
Select one of the supported languages:
English (Default)
Bahasa Melayu
Mandarin
German
Spanish
Important Language Behavior
If you customise a label in English (e.g., rename “Asset” to “Equipment”), that change won’t apply in another language view
Switching to another language (e.g., Malay) reverts custom labels to that language’s default system terms then converts it to Malay
Tip: For consistent onboarding across teams, agree on a system-wide language or translate your custom labels into each supported language. |
Set Your Time Zone
Path: Setup > General > Organization Information > Edit
Administrators can define a default time zone for the entire FieldEx workspace. This setting ensures accurate date/times for job scheduling, task timelines, and mobile syncing.
Step 1: Update the Default Time Zone
Navigate to Setup > General > Organization Information
Click Edit
Locate the Default Time Zone dropdown
Select the correct region (e.g., GMT+08:00 – Kuala Lumpur, or GMT+10:00 – Brisbane)
Click Save to apply the changes
This will update the system time zone used across dashboards, schedules, and reports for all users, unless overridden by user-specific settings (if enabled).
