Hi Dojo,
It is my intention to update a Low Code App so that it uses UTC time instead of local time. I can display datetimes in UTC on tables by updating the GQIs, but I am unable to specify a time zone for Time Ranges and Timelines.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the time zone for these components?
Hi Samuel,
Quoting the answer which was provided in a similar question (https://community.dataminer.services/question/odd-behavior-setting-a-datetime-parameter-on-a-low-code-app/) :
Low-Code Apps (and all our web apps) run by default in the timezone of the end-user, while Cube always uses the same timezone as the DMA.
The default timezone of the web apps can be configured. If you prefer using a fixed timezone, which could be equal to the timezone of the DMA, then this can be configured in the clientsettings.json.
To explain the behavior you’re currently seeing: when setting “29 / 05 / 2024 13:00” on a device in PST, while the DMA is in EST, then this value gets converted to the timezone of the DMA (1pm PST is 4pm EST). The displayed parameter values are generated on the DMA using the timezone of the DMA, which is confusing for users in another timezone, this should get fixed. But the raw value set on the parameter is correct.
Kind regards,
