Time zone offset
The time zone offset is based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
You can control the offset from UTC for the time that is recorded for a reported activity.
The time zone offset affects:
-
Date and time stamp used in all reports
-
The scheduled run time of a report
-
Date and time stamp of provisioning tasks
-
Enrollment date and time stamp
-
Snapshot or authentication activity date and time stamp
-
Date and time stamp of allocation or deallocation
-
Date and time stamp of operator activity
-
Date and time stamp of external operator activity in virtual server
-
Pre-authentication rules using time and date:
-
Start and stop of rule
-
Account day and time restrictions (authentication)
-
The time zone offset is automatically inherited from the parent at the time of account creation. If an account has no parent , its offset is based on the local server time. The local server time of account in the cloud is UTC 0.
When an account’s time zone offset is changed, the upcoming scheduled reports are not affected. Only after a scheduled report is run will a recurring report be scheduled using the new offset.
If the account is a subscriber, time stamp changes affect only the virtual server.
If the account is a service provider, time stamp changes affect the service provider’s virtual server and all reports and activities performed at the service provider level (for example, administration | reports, allocation or deallocation, date/time Stamp, all view log data).
A time zone offset adjustment may impact the date of an activity.
Time adjustments are local to the virtual server.
