Today on your dashboard is the current day in your workspace's **Reporting day** time zone, set in **Settings › Workspace › General**. The currency you read is your own pick, from the currency sign in the page header. Admins add currencies in **Settings › Organization › General**.

## Which day is Today?

Each marketplace counts its days from its own local midnight, like Seller Central. The **Reporting day** only decides when Today starts on the dashboard, for every member of the workspace. By default it is the westernmost time zone of the workspace's marketplaces. To check it, hover the zone after the dates on a Cockpit tile (for example **PT**), or open the date pill: its footer says which calendar days follow.

Examples are in [Which day is Today on Nova](https://intercom.help/nova-analytics/en/articles/16944240-which-day-is-today-on-nova). The time zone of each marketplace is in [Time zones](/docs/your-data/time-zones).

## How do I change it, and who can?

Open **Settings › Workspace › General**, then **Reporting day**. The list holds **Default** (the westernmost zone) and each time zone of the workspace's marketplaces, with how many marketplaces it covers.

| Action | Where | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Change the **Reporting day** | **Settings › Workspace › General** | Admins and Workspace owners |
| Add or remove currencies | **Settings › Organization › General** | Admins |
| Switch the currency you read | Currency sign in the page header | Everyone, for themselves |

A Workspace member sees the zone without a list. When all the workspace's marketplaces share one time zone, there is nothing to choose. Roles are explained in [Roles and permissions](https://intercom.help/nova-analytics/en/articles/17243509-roles-and-permissions-on-nova).

## How do I add a currency?

In **Settings › Organization › General**, under **Currencies** (or **Base currency** while there is only one), click **Add a currency**, choose it, then **Save**. You can add up to four next to the **Primary** one. An Admin also reaches this page from the currency menu, with **Add a currency** or **Currency settings**.

The **Primary** currency is set once at onboarding and cannot be changed in Settings, because your history is stored converted into it. Contact support if it is wrong.

## How do I switch the currency I read?

Click the currency sign in the page header. The **Display currency** menu lists your organization's currencies; pick one and the page reloads its figures in it. The choice applies to you only and stays for your next visit. How amounts are converted is in [Currencies](/docs/your-data/currencies).

Through Nova MCP, your AI assistant gives sales and profit in the currency you picked, unless you ask for another of your organization's currencies.

## Common mistakes

| You see | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Little or no US sales in Today during the European morning | The **Reporting day** is a European zone, and the US day has not started | Choose **Default** or the Pacific zone |
| The currency menu lists one currency | No other currency has been added | An Admin adds one |
| No list under **Reporting day** | You are a Workspace member, or the marketplaces share one zone | Ask an Admin or a Workspace owner |
