View Time Zone

There are two ways to view time data:

  • Your Time Zone - Start and end times for all data is translated into the Time Zone set for your login account. This is useful if you need to know who was doing what at 3:54 PM your time, all around the world.  
  • Time as Recorded - Default. Start and end times remain in the Time Zone of the recorded device. This is useful when you need Events to stay in the context of the local workday.  If an event happens at 3:54 PM EDT your time, but was recorded in Tokyo, the time is shown as 3:54 AM.
