Set your site's time zone and time format

Set your site's time zone and 12- or 24-hour clock so schedules and messages show the right times for everyone.

Who can do this: anyone whose Administrative - Common role includes Modify Site Settings.

  1. Go to Administration > Site Administration > Regional Preferences.
  2. Pick your organization's location from Site's Default Time Zone. The main US time zones are at the top, and the rest are grouped by region, then city. You can type to filter the list.
  3. Optional: check Force all users to use site time zone setting to put everyone on the site's time zone. Touring companies often use this so everyone reads the schedule in the local time of the venue.
  4. Pick a Site's Default Time Format, 12 hour or 24 hour. It applies on the site and in the messages and reports it sends.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Unless you force the time zone, people can choose their own time zone and time format in their profile, and theirs wins over the site's.
