Timezone Settings - Notes and Recommendations

For your Organization Timezone setting, you can use the drop-down list to select a timezone using formats that are valid under Release 2021c of the tz database (tzdata). For example:

  • UTC.

    • Calendars. Depending on your browser and its settings, this timezone setting will typically resolve to show UTC for calendars used in the Console.

  • Regional. By region using a regional timezone by tz database name. For example, Europe/Berlin. If you want to lookup tz regional timezones, they are listed in this Wikipedia article.

    • Calendars. Depending on your browser and its settings, regional timezone settings will typically resolve to show the equivalent GMT timezone for calendars used in the Console. For example, Europe/Berlin will show as GMT+1 for calendars.

  • Special Area. Using the "special area" Etc prefix format, such as Etc - GMT-1. Note that this format entails a +/- sign reversal with respect to GMT, so the Etc - GMT-1 timezone setting is equivalent to GMT+1. Please see the Area section entry of the Wikipedia tz database article for more details on this format.

    • Calendars. Depending on your browser and its settings, special area timezone settings will typically resolve to show the equivalent GMT timezone for calendars used in the Console.

Use Regional Timezone Settings! We strongly recommend that you use the regional timezone settings when defining your Organization's Timezone.
