They are configured at the project level and apply to every report. + +To configure these settings, navigate to **Settings** -> **Project Settings**. You can set: + +- **Start of week** — the day Mixpanel treats as the first day of the week (for example, changing it from Monday to Saturday). This affects weekly bucketing and any report that groups or rolls up data by week. +- **Start of quarter** — the month Mixpanel treats as the first month of each quarter, for organizations whose fiscal calendar doesn't begin in January. + + +These settings are respected by relative date range presets. For example, [Week to Date](/docs/reports#to-date) begins counting from your configured start of week. + + +Viewing and editing time period settings is governed by the **Access Time Period Settings** permission. Editing requires a role with edit access (project Owners and Admins), while Analysts and Consumers have view-only access.
