Time zones
When time zones are not enabled, any date-time entered with a REST API/web service is processed as if the date-time is entered in the time zone of the web server. Any time zone specified in the input date-time field is stripped/ignored.
When times zones
are enabled (in
System Settings), any date-time entered with a REST API/web service is processed in the time zone of the logged in user (the time zone that is registered for that user in Planon). Any time zones specified in the input date-time field are stripped/ignored. The web/application server time zone is irrelevant, the database time zone, as specified in Planon
System Settings, is used to determine how the values are stored in the database.
Examples
There are three different date-time types:
Type | Base Value | Time Zone |
