2146657 - Time Zone Management for users

The time zones in the BizX system are not updating for the logged in user.

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

The Time Zones adjustments can be pretty complex when organizations are spread all over the globe. To add to the complexity of the issue, not all countries/states within time zones have daylight savings. When the current time or the time stamp is displayed, depending on the location and time of the year it can be incorrect often by just one hour. The system uses the Time Zone field in the logged in user’s record to adjust for the correct time. The field is a text field and the contents are as imported into the system by the customer.

The three position acronyms are obsolete and should not be used. The attached list includes the Time Zones used by the system to reflect the appropriate time for reports. The user data for all users should be exported, the Time Zone field be edited to the correct content as on the attached list and then imported to correct all user information.

The timeZone field is recommended in the system for internal time/date stamps in the time of the user. See the “Supported Time Zones” section at the end of this document. If a timeZone value is not loaded the field will be automatically populated with a default of Eastern Standard Time. Records may be set to one value (e.g. time zone of corporation) rather than different zones for each employee. To have the system automatically adjust for daylight savings time use the time zone ID from the Supported Time Zones section at the end of this document rather than the short three-letter abbreviation.
