Flowtly Editorial Team2 min

Organization settings, under Settings → Organization, holds the foundational details that shape how Flowtly looks and behaves for everyone in your company.

Company identity

  • Short name and logo used across the app and on documents.

Localization and formats

  • Default currency for new records.
  • Interface language and legal language (the language used for generated legal documents). Interface language is the fallback for people, not an override: anyone who picks a language in Profile → Language keeps it, and someone who never has sees Flowtly in their browser's language. The organization's interface language is what a new person sees when their browser asks for a language Flowtly does not yet speak.
  • Date format and amount format so numbers and dates display the way your team expects. The available date formats, and what an organization that has never chosen one now sees, are set out under Date format below.
  • Billing period format — how a billing month reads on an invoice line built from an invoice line template, such as 07/2026. A billing period covers a month and has no day, which is why it is set apart from the date format.
  • Calendar type for the organization.

Operating basics

  • Working days for the week, which feed time tracking and schedules.
  • Company start date.

Date format

Dates display in one of four formats. Pick the one your team reads most naturally:

Setting 5 August 2026 reads as
dd.MM.yyyy 05.08.2026
dd/MM/yyyy 05/08/2026
yyyy-MM-dd 2026-08-05
MM/dd/yyyy 08/05/2026

If your organization has never chosen a date format, it now uses dd.MM.yyyy — so 5 August 2026 reads as 05.08.2026. This is the default day-first order most Flowtly customers pick when they do choose, which is why it is the one applied when nobody has.

If you have already chosen a format, nothing changes. Your setting is untouched and continues to apply. The default only ever governs organizations that have no date format of their own.

Changing it affects how dates display everywhere in the app, for everyone in the organization, and takes effect as soon as it is saved. It changes presentation only — no date you have entered is altered.

These values apply organization-wide, so it is worth setting them correctly during initial setup — see Set up your organization.

Example use cases

  • Setting the default currency and date format when onboarding a new company.
  • Uploading a logo so it appears on generated documents.
