Account Setup: can't select first day of the week anymore [SOLVED: it is in my profile setup]

Hi there!

I see that we have some posts similar to this one, but… As far as I read it, none of them tackled a new issue… The option for choosing the first day of the week does not feature anymore.

My account was set to “mondays” as the first day of the week for years now, but today I’ve noticed that I had scheduled a task for sunday, cause it now appears as the first column in the calendar that pops-up when we click to input a date value.

dom (domingo) is Su (sunday) in portuguese.

A while ago it was “monday” (Mo - or “seg”, “segunda-feira”, in portuguese) the first column in the pop-up calendar.

I thought to set it up again, but… Surprise… This option is no more…

it is in PT-BR, but as you can see, it only features weekends (“Fins de Semana”) options

What happened?

Isn’t the option set weekend to:

  • Friday - Saturday the same as start on Sunday
  • Saturday - Sunday the same as start on Monday

When you want to hide your weekends from the calendar you can set that option too. It will also impact duration and dependencies calculations.

Hi! Thank you for your answer!

Unfortunately, this does not work for me… As ou can see, it is selected “Sábado-Domingo” (Saturday-Sunday), and still, the calendar on the date column still presents its first column as sunday (dom).

the 1st column used to be “seg” (Mo) and the last one was “dom” (Su)

In this tutorial we still find the old setup option:
Tudo sobre o Administrador – Support (monday.com)

For our company, isn’t enough that “monday” is understood as the 1st day, it need to appear as such in the date column (as it was a while ago).
And I can’t hide the weekends either, we need it to keep track of some deadlines.

Hope the old config. make it way back.

Thanks again, anyway…

Looks like a case for monday support.

I came to help, but I went to all the tabs on the screen and couldn’t find a solution. An employee from the monday team will definitely help you.

I recently had this issue and took this to support. It used to be an admin setting, but now it is a setting on the individual level.

Go to My Profile → Language & Region → First day displayed on your calendars and select Sunday instead of Monday

Sure would be nice if monday would put a note in the admin section saying this has been moved to individual user profile settings… @Julietteb

It’s never worked correctly for me from the beginning, particularly with items appearing where they should on a calendar view (if they show at all). And because of that, the automations attached to them don’t quite work either. I’m not exactly sure what alternative there is other than adjusting items by hand as I have been. I’ve tried both solutions mentioned here, and it just doesn’t work. Stumped.

:pensive: I’m sad to hear that, I hope the support can do something for you.

Thankfully our operations aren’t so huge that I’m having to alter hundreds of items. It’s not difficult at all, but with ADD and a workload big enough for two people, anything that saves me time is always better lol.

I ran into this as well. Turns out this was recently changed from being managed at the account level to a profile setting.
Click on your avatar in the right-hand corner.
Click on language and region.
Select the first day to be displayed on your calendars.

Each person has to do this for their profile.
