Set environment variables to change the default currency, language or timezone

Load form
EUR	currency
GMT+1	timezone
	amount

Show environment variables
currency
timezone

${amount;currency} ${now;datetime}
amount	100
currency	€
timezone	23:21:00 GMT+1

Use a Form building block to define default values for currency and timezone.

Using those environment variables in your flow you the original system values are overwritten with the specified default values. You can thereby manually set the language, currency, timezone in the further processing of your Ultradox flow.

When using the currency or time formats without explicitly specifying the currency code or timezone in the the Log statement building block, the new default currency or timezone will be used.
