Time settings

The TCM application automatically converts time and date settings for users in different time zones, as follows:

The TCM application stores dates and times based on GMT. Times and dates are converted to the user's local time zone when they are rendered. For example, assume you are scheduling a meeting and you are located in Los Angeles. You select a meeting time of 11:00 am, and invite other members who are located in New York City (3 hours ahead). The members in New York City will see the meeting scheduled for 2:00 pm.

Note that events (reminders, for example) are based on the time setting on the Collaboration Engine. Notifications are sent based on that time. If the time on that system is not synchronized with other machines, events and reminders may not happen as expected.

For example, assume that a task is due at 11:00 am. The notification will be sent when the Collaboration Engine clock reaches 11:00 am. If a user's computer clock is 10 minutes behind, the reminder will arrive at 10:50 am on the user's computer.
