Setting Your Default Time Zone

This setting determines the times displayed in the web interface for your user account only, for things like task scheduling and viewing dashboards. This setting does not change the system time or affect any other user, and does not affect data stored in the system, which generally uses UTC.

Warning

The Time Zone function (in User Preferences) assumes that the system clock is set to UTC time. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM TIME. Changing the system time from UTC is NOT supported, and doing so will require you to reimage the device to recover from an unsupported state.

Note

This feature does not affect the time zone used for time-based policy application. Set the time zone for a device in Devices > Platform Settings.

Step 1

From the drop-down list under your user name, choose User Preferences.

Step 2

Click Time Zone drop-down.

Step 3

Choose the continent or country and the state name that corresponds with the time zone you want to use.
