# Personal Preferences

> Set your personal defaults, formatting, and appearance in Spott.

Personal preferences only affect your own account, not the rest of your workspace.
Open them from **Settings → Preferences**.

## General preferences

Under **Settings → Preferences → General** you set the defaults used when you create
records and content:

* **Default Currency**, prefilled in new currency fields. All monetary values are
  shown in the Workspace currency, which an admin configures.
* **Default Country Code**, the dialing code prefilled for new phone numbers.
* **Default AI Language**, the language Spott uses when it generates content.
* **Default Distance Unit**, used for distance and radius fields.
* **Spell Check**, browser spell checking in text fields.

* **First Day of Week**, which day starts the week in calendars.
* **Display Language**, the language of the Spott interface.
