How Defaults Work
SecureLink uses a priority cascade for display settings:
- User Preference (highest priority) — set by the individual user in Account Settings
- System Default — configured on this page
- Built-in Default (lowest priority) — UTC timezone,
YYYY-MM-DDdate format, 24-hour time
If a user has not set a personal preference, the system default is used. If no system default is configured, the built-in default applies.
Users can override timezone, date format, and time format in their personal Account Settings. Theme preference is also per-user. System defaults only apply when a user has not set their own preference.
