| Setting | What it does |

| **Unit** | Choose the currency symbol used throughout the platform (e.g. $, €, £) |

| **Theme** | Toggle between light and dark interface themes |
| **Date Format** | Choose your preferred format (DD-MM-YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, etc.) |
| **Time** | Choose between 12-hour or 24-hour time formats |
| **Time Zone** | Set the correct time zone for your country and region |
| **Activate 2FA** | Enable two-factor authentication — an OTP is sent to your email on each login |
| **BankID verification for clients** | Master switch for client BankID. Turning it on reveals the **Mandatory BankID** option in the Record System and Booking System configurations *(Sweden only)* |
| **Check for Update** | Click to manually check for the latest system updates |

||| ⚠️ **BankID is a Swedish service.** It requires a Swedish personal ID and a Swedish BankID, so clinics outside Sweden cannot use it.

|| ℹ️ **BankID verification for clients** controls the whole feature. While it is off, the **Mandatory BankID** switches in **Record System → Configurations** and **Booking System → Configurations** are hidden — and turning it back off disables them again, even if they were switched on.

|| ℹ️ The **Client Language** setting controls the language of all client-facing communications — including emails, the Registration Portal and the Booking Portal.

| 💡 The **Client Language** setting also controls the language in which your [Personal data policy](https://help.meridiq.com/en/article/personal-data-policy-10ldy8b/) is displayed to clients.
