TimeZones

To create a new timezone, please complete the steps below:

3. Click Save or Save and Exit to apply changes.

Timezones in email notifications

This property is of the Boolean type, so it can take the only values TRUE or FALSE. When set to TRUE, then the system timezone is appended to time and date in notifications.
