Documents & formatting for Dashpivot Workspaces
System settings allow workspace administrators to control how modules behave across the entire workspace. These settings apply universally, ensuring consistency for all users.
Who Can Manage Documents & formatting?
Only users with Org controller permissions can update system settings. Changes will immediately apply to all workspace users.
By managing system settings at the workspace level, teams can:
Ensure consistency across projects and documents
Save time by avoiding repetitive configuration
Reduce errors caused by misaligned formats or rules
Timezone display in forms
This setting controls how dates and times should appear in your form downloads and on the web.
Local to Exporter
When downloading or viewing a form, dates and times will be shown in the timezone set in your Dashpivot user profile.
Example:
Form creator is in timezone A (UTC+5)
User who is downloading the form is in timezone B (UTC+10) in their Dashpivot profile,
Form download will display all dates and times in the export default to timezone B (UTC+10).
Local to Data Entry
When downloading or viewing a form, dates and times will display the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of the person who enters that particular data.
Example:
When the form user is in timezone A (UTC+5)
The user who is downloading the form is in timezone B (UTC+10) in their Dashpivot profile
Form download will display all dates and times with the respective UTC.
Note:
UTC times will only be displayed for the following areas:
Created At time
Updated At time
Signatures
Sitemate Scan ID
Photos
Location field
Date - Timezone Aware fields will still convert based on your Dashpivot Profile timezone. If you intend to use Local to Data Entry then it is best to select our Date options instead for these templates.
The UTC times are available for all new forms created on the web after the 1st of December 2025 and on the Dashpivot mobile app from v25.9 and Sitemate Mobile app from v25.9.
Any older forms or forms created on older app versions will not have the UTC times and will default to the same behaviour as ‘Local to Exporter’.
