Settings & Preferences

Planner remembers your personal settings per account so each team member can work in a way that suits them without affecting colleagues.

Timezone

Planner stores all dates in UTC. Your timezone setting controls how dates are displayed. Choose Settings → Timezone and select from the IANA timezone list (e.g. Australia/Sydney, America/New_York).

Note: Changing your timezone does not shift any scheduled dates — it only affects the display offset for time-sensitive fields such as activity start/finish times.

Default view mode

Set which view opens when you navigate to a project:

  • Activities grid — spreadsheet-style activity list
  • Gantt chart — bar chart timeline
  • Split view — grid and Gantt side by side

Date format

Choose how dates render in columns and tooltips:

Format tokenExample
DD/MM/YYYY25/06/2025
MM/DD/YYYY06/25/2025
YYYY-MM-DD2025-06-25
DD MMM YYYY25 Jun 2025

Planner is available in English (default). Additional languages are released progressively — check Settings → Language for the current list available to your account.
