# Workspace basics

> Country, currency, language, time zone and the modules your workspace uses.

The basics live under **Settings → General**. Only members whose role may manage settings can change them; everyone else sees them read-only.

## Country, currency and language

| Field | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Agency country** | Sets the tax rules and the billing profile for your invoices. Required before the first invoice. |
| **Default currency** | The currency new quotes, projects and invoices start with. Each document can still use another currency. |
| **Default language** | English or German for the workspace. Each member can choose their own language in their profile. |
| **Time zone** | Used for dates on time entries and invoices. |

Changing the country later is possible, but check the numbering circles and the billing profile afterwards, see [Numbering and billing details](/help/settings/numbering-and-billing-details/).

## Modules

Under **Modules** you switch whole areas of the app on or off. A module that is off does not exist for the workspace: its pages, its API and its tools disappear, and nothing is deleted. Switch it back on and the data is there again.

| Module | What it covers |
| --- | --- |
| **Billing (quotes & invoices)** | Quotes, invoices, recurring invoices, payments, reminders |
| **Sales (Leads and Deals)** | The pipeline and the deals board |
| **Email inbox** | Connecting a mailbox |
| **Reports** | The Reports area |
| **Custom entities** | Your own record types |
| **Webhooks** | Outgoing webhooks |
| **Capacity planning** | The planning board, work schedules and absences. Off by default. |
| **Resources & bookings** | Rooms, equipment and other bookable units. Off by default. |

## Billing defaults

**Invoice line grouping (Bill project)** sets how the Bill project wizard groups logged time into invoice lines: by task and rate, by person, by day, by month, as a single lump sum or by service. **Require approval before billing** adds an approval step before time can be billed.

## Terminology

Under **Terminology** you rename the main concepts in English and German, so a consultancy sees engagements where an agency sees projects. See [Modules and terminology](/help/settings/modules-and-terminology/).
