Setting Language and Time Zones for Web Applications

Rubicon web applications including SiteConnect. use a Tenant object to determine the language and locale of customers associated with that tenant. Parties can be associated with a specific tenant in the Parties module.

What is a Tenant?

A tenant is an object that is used to store the settings for a party.

Settings that are currently stored include:

  • Language

  • Timezone

By default, all of your customers will belong to the same tenant. However, if you have customers in different time zones, or in different language groups, you can create additional tenants to organise your customers.

Creating a Tenant

Create a new object of type Tenant in the Objects module. See Creating an Object for more details. The tenant object will be used for creating sets of users who share the same time zone and language settings so we recommend that you name the tenant accordingly.

Setting the time zone and langage for a tenant

Set the time zone and language by setting the appropriate attribute values on the Attributes tab:

  • The Default Locale Code attribute specifies the tenant language

  • The TimeZone attribute specifies the tenant time zone
