Default Locale

The Default Locale settings define the standard country, time zone, and language for your SigningHub deployment. These defaults ensure consistency across user profiles, system interactions, and signing activities. Administrators can configure whether users are allowed to override these settings from their personal profiles or enforce a fixed locale across the system for uniformity.
