Client Time Zone Redirection

About this task

By default, all Webspace sessions are run in the time zone of the Webspace Server machine. Administrators can opt to run Webspace sessions in the time zone of the client computer by enabling the Use client's time zone option from the Webspace Admin Console. With the Use client's time zone option selected, timestamps and associated data viewed from Webspace sessions appear in the client's time zone instead of the Webspace Server's time zone.

For example, alarms, charts (Standard and Enhanced), Historical Trend Display, Current Date Stamp, Current Time Stamp, and the Historical Datalink will show time stamps and data based on the web client's time zone if the "Use client's time zone" is selected. Otherwise, the time zone of the Webspace Server is reflected in the time stamps and data being displayed.

The Client Time Zone feature is configured from the Webspace Admin Console's Host Options dialog, as shown in the following figure.

Important: Be aware that when you select the Client Time Zone check box that these settings also affect data retrieved by any VisiconX queries in your pictures.
