Preferences

The Preferences section of your user settings controls how the portal looks and behaves for you.

Use last workspace as home page

Section titled “Use last workspace as home page”

A toggle that controls where you land when you open the portal:

  • On — you’re taken straight to the workspace you used last.
  • Off — you start on the Workspaces hub.

Theme

Section titled “Theme”

Choose the portal’s appearance:

  • Dark — dark appearance.
  • Light — light appearance.
  • System — follow your operating system’s setting.

Date format

Section titled “Date format”

How dates are written throughout the portal. Each explicit option previews itself with today’s date, so you can see the effect before choosing:

  • System default — follow your browser’s locale.
  • MM/DD/YYYY
  • DD/MM/YYYY
  • YYYY-MM-DD
  • DD. MM. YYYY

Number format

Section titled “Number format”

The grouping and decimal separators used for numbers, listed by example:

  • System default — follow your browser’s locale.
  • 1,234.56 — comma groups, dot decimal.
  • 1.234,56 — dot groups, comma decimal.
  • 1 234,56 — space groups, comma decimal.

Timezone

Section titled “Timezone”

The timezone used to display dates and chart time axes:

  • System — your detected timezone, shown in brackets next to the option.
  • UTC
  • Any other IANA timezone from the list.

Where preferences are stored

Section titled “Where preferences are stored”

These preferences are per browser, not per account — they’re kept in the browser’s local storage rather than on your Metrana account, so signing in from a different machine starts from the defaults.
