Setting Up Daylight Savings Rules

Set up daylight savings rules to define when to convert to the daylight savings rule. Use this criteria:

• Month

• Day of the week

Calculations are based on the daylight savings rule setup that is used with the time zone. You define the start and end dates of the daylight savings rule (for example, enter the first Sunday of April at 02:00:00).
