Time zones allow you to set the displayed time to a different time zone.<\/p>\n

In IFS OI Explorer you can set your time, the User time, to any time zone defined in the IANA Time Zone Database<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In IFS OI Server Management you can set the Site time, to a different time zone.<\/p>\n

The User time is used wherever time is saved in Explorer. By selecting a different time zone to your local time, the time saved will be the equivalent time in the selected time zone. The User time impacts Trends, Case Management, and all places in IFS OI Explorer where time and date is attached to an entry.<\/p>\n
