Does the value in date/time custom field time change for users in other time zones?

Colin Scott May 3, 2019

I want to set up a date/time field to schedule activities that happen at certain times during the day. If I have people in another time zone, will they see the same time as written, or will it change according to their time zone to represent the same moment?

Hello Collin,

When inputing a value in a date and time picker field the values are relative to your user timezone settings, so it you enter a value it will display as your timezone to you, but will reflect the local time for other users viewing the field relative to their location settings.

Exe: if you are located in a Pacific time GMT-7 for your timezone settings and enter 12PM and a user in the Eastern timezone GMT-4 views the field it will display 3PM.

Regards,
Earl
