Region and Language

Use this option to set region/language defaults for an individual employee that differ from the system defaults established in Regional Settings Configuration.

1. From the Home screen, do one of the following:
   
   • Click Configure on the navigation panel.
   • Click Areas > Configure on the menubar.
   • Click the down arrow next to Home on the options bar and select Configure.

   From any other area of the program, do one of the following:

   • Click the down arrow to the right of Home on the options bar and select Configure.
   • Click Home > Configure on the menubar.
2. Click User Options > Region and Language on the navigation panel.
3. You can do the following from here:
   
   • Edit an Employee
     1. Select an Employee to Edit.
        
        Note: If you are not an system administrator, the employees to edit may be restricted to your own login or to employees with whom you have a relationship defined in employee detail, depending on your security permissions.
     2. From the Default country dropdown list, select Canada or United States of America. This selection determines the cultural settings that default in various areas of the system (for example, you enter addresses). It also determines which country defaults on screens or fields that enable you to select from multiple countries.
     3. From the Default language dropdown list, select English (Canada), English (United States of America), or French (Canada). This selection determines the language in which Epic system screens will display.
     4. In the Regional Terminology frame, select a Country division. This determines the way that country divisions will be labeled when there is no specific context (for example, as a column header on a list that contains address data for multiple countries).
        • Province
        • State
        • State/Province
     5. Select a Postal code. This determines the way that postal codes will be labeled when there is no specific context (for example, as a column header on a list that contains address data for multiple countries).
        • Postal Code
        • ZIP Code
        • ZIP/Postal Code
     6. If you access Applied Epic through a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, adjust your Date/Time Format settings if needed.
     • Select the Set the date/time format based on the default language selected from above checkbox if you want to use the date/time format setting for your Default language setting.
     • If you do not want to base your date/time format on your default language, select your preferred date format from the Date order dropdown and your preferred time format from the Time notation dropdown. A preview of your selections displays below the dropdowns.
     7. Click Finish to apply the settings. Changes will go into effect the next time the employee logs in.
        Click Cancel to exit the screen without applying changes.
