The Formatting settings dictate the time and date formats that are used in your
account and let you set a default character encoding for contact import files.
About this task
All application times are dependent on the time zone settings you specify on
the Formatting Settings page. For example, if you set your time zone setting to
America/New_York, then all time dependent settings in your
account (such as message send times) will be set according to
America/New_York time.
To edit the formatting settings:
Procedure
-
Go to
-
Use the Time Zone pull down menu to adjust the time zone used
for your account.
Note:
Any changes made to the timezone settings will only affect report data
(opens, clicks, conversions, etc.) going forward. We do not update old data to reflect
time zone settings.
-
Select a date format for your account from the Use the following format for
dates list.
-
Select a time format for your account from the Use the following format for
time list.
-
Select a locale for your account from the Locale list.
The locale setting effects how numbers are formatted, including the addition of commas
to a number.
-
Select a default character set to apply to your contact import files from the
Use the following character set when importing contacts
list.
This is used to set a default character set encoding that the platform will use when
contact files are imported. You also have the option of selecting the appropriate
character set encoding on a per contact import basis, as you set up the contact import.
By default I don't know what my character set is is selected
here. When you indicate you don't know what character set your files use, Bronto will
attempt to import the file as UTF-8. After the initial import, the platform runs a
validation check on the imported data. If the imported data is not valid UTF-8, Bronto
will remove it and reimport the files using ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) encoding. This does not
guarantee the files are using the ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) character set. You should look at
the contact data you imported to make sure it appears as expected.
For more information about file encoding see Contact Import Character Sets.
