Change first day of week to MONDAY, instead of SUNDAY

Krzysztof Dendra

Hello!

I found that in 2015 there was a request to give users option when the week should begin.

In some countries it starts on Sunday, in some on Monday or Saturday.

However the dropdown menu is still the same after 7 years.

Or is there any option that I've missed?

Best regards!

Hi @Krzysztof Dendra

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to change the Dropdown to anything else, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Andrée Starå | Workflow Consultant / CEO @ WORK BOLD

I understand this issue (cannot change the first day of the week in Calendar view to start on Monday) has been requested for the past 7 years. Most of the planet starts work on Monday so it is frustrating that the calendar starts the week half way through the weekend. Can Smartsheet provide an update on when this please?

Looks like it is too difficult :-(

Is there any news about the first day of the week, Monday! This was presented already many years ago by many users, as I understand, and when can we expect it to be solved? This problem is very confusing when organizing, when choosing the right date.

Hi at all,

let's put this on the agenda:

Smartsheet support are you monitoring this community forum? Must say I'm only using this tool because it's my client's preference, but there's no way I'm recommending it for future clients, because you can't get the basics right, despite being told by users for almost a decade.

I second this, its really messing up our work planning. People in the UK do NOT start week on Sunday so our team get confused about days when glancing on calendar

Seconded, it is extremely inconvenient as a UK-based user/admin when setting timelines as the Gantts start the week's date on a Sunday…when the work week starts on a Monday. Please put an option to set the work week start day for a sheet or workspace to help facilitate other country's requirements.

Seconded again, please take action on this issue Smartsheet to stay "smart". Monday is for Europe the first day on the week.

I must say, this is fairly basic option in almost all programs that I have worked with. It is very difficult to understand why something like this has been ignored for 9 years. The lack of response to simple requests by paying customers does little to endear us to the platform.
