Resolution
This message will be displayed all the time. This is just an indication about the displayed timezone of the items which are assigned. It mentions the admin to reload the user entity to see the updated date and time if there were any assignments made.
The Required Date is shown in User preference timezone, the Assignment Date is shown in Database Timezone, and the Completion/Failure date is shown in Admin preference timezone.
To check the User preference:
- Navigate to Learning Administration > People > Users
- Open any user record
- Go to the Preferences Tab
To check on the Admin preference:
- Navigate to Learning Administration
- In the main menu, access the Preferences section
The only way to change the information in this banner is to change the preferences or to change a setting that will display the Required Date based off the Admin timezone.
- Go to Learning Administration > System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration
- Edit the LMS_ADMIN configuration file
- Change learningPlanDisplayInLearnerTimezone to false
- By default this setting is set to true
