Adding a clock to the Infor Smart Office canvas

You can add a clock, or multiple clocks, to the Infor Smart Office canvas. One reason to do this might be to monitor time in another time zone, for example, for an additional office of your company or for your customers or vendors.

This procedure describes how to add a clock to the canvas and configure it for the correct time in the time zone you want to monitor.

  1. From the Show menu, select Widget Library > Clock.
  2. Drag the clock to the location on the canvas where you want it to be.
  3. To configure the clock, click the Settings icon.
  4. Configure options for clock display format:
    • Show seconds: If enabled, a second hand is displayed on the clock.
    • Show day of week: If enabled, the week day (Monday to Sunday) is displayed under the clock.
    • Show day of month: If enabled, the date (for example, May 24) is displayed under the clock.
    • Show digital face: If enabled, the clock displays in a digital format.
  5. Change the Visible Label. Specify a phrase to identify the clock.

    For example, if you are monitoring time in your company's Omaha office, you could change the label to Omaha, Nebraska.

  6. Select Location.

    For Location, select the part of the world that the clock is representing. For our example, select United States.

  7. If necessary, select Time Zone.

    In the case of a location, for example, a small country that does not cross time zones, the time zone is set automatically when you select the location. In the case of a large country like the United States, which spans several times zones, you must select the zone.

    The list of time selectable zones is organized by Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) plus or minus the difference of the time zone from GMT. The list begins with the international date line and moves east. To find the time zone for Omaha, Nebraska, which is in the Central US and Canada zone, move to the top of the list—the international date line—and then scroll until you locate Central US and Canada.

  8. When you are finished configuring the clock, select Save.
