Viewing Default Regional Settings for the United States

When your agency first implements the latest version of Civic Platform or upgrades an existing instance to the latest version, Civic Platform automatically creates an entry for the United States in the Regional Settings portlet. That entry populates with the default settings for the United States. See Table 1. You can update the settings as appropriate for your agency.
