The Coordinated Universal Time is based on the time zone of the application server. The UTC offset is a computed item that extracts the time zone offset from a time string. The offset is used to translate the display of the Submit Time and Completed Time columns into local time. The assumption is that the server and client share a time zone. If this is not the case, the computed item can be edited to reflect the time zone difference between server and clients.
A UTC Offset option has been added to the Show Task Status interactive report that enables users in a different location to the thin client application server to manually select a time zone. Selecting a time zone interprets dates and times in the log entries accordingly.
Note: | Users in the locality of the application server are not required to change this setting. |
