FAQ

A: Only users with the Owner role.
Q: Can I set different time zones for different projects?
A: No. The company time zone is shared. Individual time zones can only be set in each user’s profile.

A: No. The login link is standard (app.shifton.com). The company name is displayed only in the interface and reports.
Q: How do I change the first day of the week from Sunday to Monday?
A: Company Settings → General Information → First Day of Week field → select Monday → save.
