Enterprise users can edit all of these settings per individual site.

Calendar Settings

You can configure the calendar in Firefish to match your business year. For example, if your financial year begins in April, you can set April as the start of the year in Firefish.

Your selected calendar impacts your business plan and KPIs, both on the dashboard and within Settings. If you change the year settings, historical data will be recalculated and displayed according to the new configuration.
