Tips
Check the settings for parameters and defaults for each user.
Make sure that the parameters MOL=xx (where xx is your country version, 08 for the UK) and UGR=xx (often set the same as your country version).
Check the date format - should match the format stipulated in the data migration specification.
As the Basis team usually copy an existing user in order to create a new one, it would be wise to set up a dummy default user with the correct settings for them to copy in each client.
This is vital in version 4.6 where the Favourites are also copied across. Copying an existing user will take over the favourites of the existing user.
