2733434 - Filter for Dynamic Date Variable Not Working

• Setting a filter using a Dynamic Date Variable returns no results. E.g. "Equal to Today's Date" or "Greater than Today's Date" brings no data.
• Entering a specific date, e.g. 1/1/2018, will return data

Server Timezone

Please note that the Dynamic Date fields consider server time and not a user's local timezone.

For example, if you are logged in 12:11 PM EST on December 1 and expect that  the system will fetch Today's date as December 1 this will depend on the Data Center the instance is in.

If the instance is in DC10 which is in Sydney (AEDT), the the current date/time will be December 2 at around 3:30 AM.   So the filter using Dynamic Date will consider December 2 as Today's date.  E.g. Hire Date Equals To Today's Date (December 2) and NOT  " = 12/1/2018". 
If there are no records with 12/2, the query will return blank results.

So it is important to consider server time when designing the query or when configuring a Scheduled job which depends on dynamic dates like "Today", because ORD Live Data and Advanced Reporting considers server time for system dates.
