About time zones

Time zone information can be defined at different levels in the application.

Server time zone

Site time zone

User's time zone

When you set up a user on the Users form, you can select the local time zone to display the current time based on the user's time zone.

This field is ignored unless the DateTime in Client Time Zone process default is enabled on the Process Defaults form. If the process default is enabled and this field is blank, the value defaults to the time zone of either the local user’s machine or the web server. If you enable the process default, we recommend that this value be specified for each user and not be left blank.

Specifying information about time zones

You can set up new time zones or modify the information about existing time zones in the Time Zone Data form.
