Displaying Local Time in the User Preferences Screen

If UTC is enabled, then some fields in the User Preferences screen use the GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) time zone to display time. Local time is the current time according to the local time zone on the remote client computer. To display local time in these fields, you must use Siebel Tools to modify the type property for each field, and then republish the Siebel runtime repository.

The following table describes the fields that display time in GMT if UTC is enabled.

View	Display Name of Field	Business Component	Business Component Field
Mobile User Summary View	Time of Last Sync Session	Sync Client Status Local	C.Sess.When
Dock Session Log	Session Date	Session Log	Created
