Settings: Timezones

Each event must have the timezone set via EVENT > Settings

The timezone will affect how some dates are seen by website users. Some will shift, others are fixed. Calculations across timezones will account for any daylight savings which may be in effect.

Dates which shift:

Product availability dates Event site visitors will view these dates based on the timezone they are currently in.

For example, using the Visitors from the above image:
Lets say the current date is: Wed 4 October 2017

If a Product closes on Monday 6 Nov 2017 at 09:00 for an event in London (GMT).
  • Visitor 1: close date = Monday 6 Nov 2017 04:00:00 (4am)
  • Visitor 2:  close date = Monday 6 Nov 2017 09:00:00 (9am)
  • Visitor 3:  close date = Monday 6 Nov 2017 20:00:00 (8pm)
This logic applies to all date types list to the left.
