Setting the Time Zone of spaces

A space's overall processing time zone for all input files is set under the Advanced tab of Space Properties in Admin. The difference between this time zone and each source's time zone is how Birst determines how much of an offset to apply when loading datetime fields into the system.

Caution:

You must log out and log back in to the application for any changes to the Processing Time Zone to take affect.

Note: For those sites migrated post the 2023.08 maintenance window, Birst has adopted the Infor standard that establishes the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as the time standard. The Processing Time Zone uses UTC and so, using functions like NOW and NOWDATE are impacted by this change. If you have not changed the Processing Time Zone default setting in Space Properties, then Birst uses UTC for the time standard. See KB Article 2303325 for more information on this change.
