Time Zone Setup

SmartSolve© fully supports Daylight savings time automatically. Now you log in with a unique time zone, the system converts GMT time to your local time so that the system will know what time zone you are relative to. So, if you entered a record date during +5 GMT daylight savings time and then later you look at the same record  during +4 GMT daylight savings time then it will give you the same time/day.

How to Configure Time Zones

Time Zones must be configured in the WebConfig file.  Please contact your IT system administrator to assist you with configuring time zones in SmartSolve.  Once the time zone is configured, the user can login and by default the system will automatically pick the time zone setting from the user's computer.  For example, if a user is in EST their computer is configured for EST.  Even if EST is configured in the web.config along with other time zones (i.e., PST, Australia, and Nepal) then when user from EST logs into their system the default EST will be selected.  if let's say a user from Alaska logs in and Alaska is not configured in the web.config file, then the system will pick the first Time Zone setup in the web.config.

 

Please see the sample file provided with SmartSolve© under Settings\Samples\AvailableTimeZonesExampleFile.txt

 

NOTE: the "key" must match the time zone in the registry, otherwise SmartSolve© will not recognize it and the user will not be able to logon to SmartSolve©.
