Website and regional settings
Maintain your website's profile, email identity, branding and regional display settings.
What it is
Website holds your account profile, branding and email identity. Regional Settings sets the timezone, language and formats used by the website. These settings apply to the selected website account.
Who uses it and why
Users with the Settings role maintain account details and regional choices in the sections delegated to them. Powerfront changes classification and currency on your behalf.
Where to find it
With the Settings role and the relevant delegated screen permissions, open Settings › General Settings › Website for General Website Settings. Open Settings › General Settings › Regional Settings for timezone, currency, language, country and date or time display.
How it works
Select the correct website before editing. Website details identify the account, while the logo and image supply its branding. Transcript sender and reply-to fields control the email identity used for chat transcripts.
Regional choices set the website's local time and display conventions. Currency provides preset symbols or Custom formatting, with a preview. Date Format offers month/day/year, day/month/year and year-month-day; Time Format offers 12h or 24h.
Configure it
- Open Website, update the required profile fields and choose images with Choose Image.
- Set transcript email identity and any alternative outbound server details your setup uses.
- Choose Save.
- Open Regional Settings, select the timezone and display choices, then choose Save there too.
Ask Powerfront to change Instance Type, Vertical - Primary, Vertical - Secondary or currency. The sales attribution and control group options share the website screen; review their effect with your reporting owner.

Limits and good to know
Website regional settings and an operator's personal timezone or language are separate choices. Changing a display format does not itself translate your configured content.
A logo can also be used in the visitor experience. Removing it clears the corresponding visitor-side logo setting. Configuring an alternative SMTP address alone does not establish that all outbound email accounts are ready to send.

Why can I view a setting but not change it?

Website regional settings and personal account preferences are separate. Check both screens.
