General account settings

General settings are the account defaults: what the exported report carries in the header, which currency and time zone the team works in, and what a new project or a new user inherits. It is not the plan screen or the reminders screen — it is “how this company works in Rabbiit”.

Whoever changes it is an administrator. Each block has its own Save; turning a field on without saving that block does not count.

💡 Some blocks (logo on reports, project default, activities, and capacity) require a plan feature. Without the feature, the section appears with the upgrade invite.

Where to find it

General account settingsGeneral account settings Settings > General settings

The screen title is General settings.

Report logo and header

Export report elements block. This is what the client sees on the PDF and on exports — not the login-screen logo.

  • Logo — preview of what goes on the report. Edit logo uploads PNG or JPEG (up to 2 MB). You can remove it later.
  • Report header — free text: company name, address, website, phone, email. The screen placeholder suggests that order.

Save elements writes logo and header.

Use it so the report comes out looking like the company, without pasting letterhead later. The export steps are in export a report to PDF.

Currency and time zone

Currency and time zone settings block.

  • Currency — the account currency (amounts, cost, billing).
  • Currency format — how the number appears (symbol, decimals).
  • Time zone — interface clock and the day/week reference for time-entry automation. Scheduling stays in UTC: changing the time zone does not change the instant the rule runs, only how the time is shown and which day counts.

Save settings writes currency, format, and time zone.

Project defaults

Project defaults block. It applies to new projects. Existing ones do not change.

  • Task field required — on time entries for that project, the task is no longer optional. The report and billing by work type stay complete.

Save Projects.

Activity defaults

Default activity settings on projects block. Also only for a new project.

This is the set of what a member can see and do on the board (create, edit, comment, assign, planning). The administrator and the project manager can always do everything. The option detail is in activity permissions on the project. After creation, the manager adjusts only the project that needs a different rule.

Save activities.

Capacity defaults

Default user capacity block. It applies to new users. Anyone already on the account does not change — each person’s record is in set user capacity.

  • Work days — Mon through Sun. Saturday and Sunday appear highlighted.
  • Capacity per day — hours / day.
  • Default holiday calendar — or No calendar. The holiday catalog is in holidays and absences.

Save Capacity.

Financial settings

Financial settings block — fees and taxes deductible from the billable amount.

  • Fees and taxes percentage.
  • Effective-date history (when the account has this feature): the rate can change from a date forward, without rewriting the past.

Save Finance.

A person’s labor cost per hour is another screen: set labor cost per hour.

What is not here

Reminders, hour approvals, automation, custom fields, date lock, and Integrations have their own screen in the same Settings menu.
