      Changing account time zone settings

      We recommend that you only change the time zone settings on your account after thorough consideration, and that you first make sure to read and understand the process and consequences by reading this article.

      Impact of changing time zone settings

      Changing the time zone will result in:

      1. All bookings on the account will change (flights and ground), as well as all registrations (flights and ground).
      2. Any setup of "Exceptions" under "availabilities" done by your users will also change accordingly.
      3. NB. please be aware that any users, who have set up "Weekly schedule" under "availabilities" need to update since this will not change automatically!

      UTC (Universal Time Coordination)

      The FlightLogger database holds all times in 'UTC' and the time zone settings only control how you view and register the data. Therefore it is important that users in FlightLogger register in the corresponding time zone for time registrations to go correctly into the database in UTC.

      Communication 

      FlightLogger highly recommends notifying all users about the change, so no one misses a booking or gets confused about the change.

      How to change time zone settings on your account

      The default time zones on your account were already set when your account was initially set up.

      If you later for some reason need to change the time zone at a later stage, this is possible via Administration -> Account settings-> General Settings

      NOTE: CHANGING TIME ZONE SETTINGS WILL AFFECT ALL PREVIOUS FLIGHT REGISTRATIONS 

      From here, set each of the three time zone setting as you wish, and then click Save.
