Changing Time Zone and Date Format

The following settings are maintained in the Region Format tab of your Preferences.

The Time Zone setting affects the date stamp that appears on the actions that you perform in Unifier, such as saving or uploading files, running user-defined reports, and due dates of tasks assigned to you. The date stamp is effective as of 12:00 AM in your time zone.

Example

If your time zone is Eastern Standard Time, and your task is due August 1, then at 12:00 AM August 1 your task is due — even if it is only 9:00 PM July 31 in Pacific Standard Time.

Note: The Time Zone setting is based on the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

To set the time zone:

Go to the Region Format tab in the Preferences window.
Click the Time Zone drop-down list and select a time zone based on your locale.
When finished, click Apply and then OK.

The Date Format determines how date fields appear to you in Unifier.

To set the date format:

Go to the Region Format tab in the Preferences window.
Click the Date Format drop-down list and select a date format.
When finished, click Apply and then OK.

Unifier supports the following additional date formats:

Notes:

The time format for all dates is: HH:MM. The Date Format options is displayed without AM to support the 24-hour format. For example, in the Date Format drop-down, instead of MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM, MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM is displayed to enable you to select the 24-hour time format.
Unifier provides you the option to select 24-hour date time format in all modules, once this is set in the user preferences (Preferences). This is supported for all Standard, Portal, Partner users, and bidders.
