System timezone

system_timezone_dashboard.pngThe time for system events like messages and support questions is always stored as UTC. Setting a System timezone under Tools & Data can affect how times are shown in the system. 

  • The selected timezone will be shown as a clock on the Dashboard and in the top menu, along with the timezone label.
    • Simply put: this clarifies to all users ”what we mean when we say 12 o’clock”
  • The time for events like messages and support questions will be converted from UTC into this time and shown with the timezone label.
    • E.g. 2020-02-20 10:10:10 CET 
  • The selected time for job deadlines will shown as stored but together with the timezone label as a clarification.
    • This includes the job info page (see pic), jobs shown on the Dashboard and in the joblist.
