Timezone Fields

Timezone Name

The Timezone Name is a user defined name to uniquely identify the new Timezone.

 

Offset

The GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is also referred to as UTC (Universal Time Conversion) or Coordinated Universal Time.  This is the globally accepted standard on which all Timezones are based.  Each Timezone represents a particular number of minutes offset from GMT.  Remember that each hour contains 60 minutes; and Offsets are expressed in minutes.  Offsets can be negative representing Timezones to the west of Greenwich, England; or positive representing Timezones to the East of Greenwich, England.

 

Can Use Daylight Savings

The "Can User Daylight Savings" feature serves to ENABLE the ability for the use of Daylight Saving; it does NOT cause it to be used.  To actually implement the use of Daylight Saving Time, the "Use Daylight Savings" feature on the Edit Clock window must be checked.  When the "Can Use Daylight Savings" feature and the "Use Daylight Savings" feature on the Edit Clock window are both checked, the DST is calculated and used during the range of dates and time specified by the "Daylight Savings Begins" and "Daylight Savings Ends" fields.  If the "Use Daylight Savings" box is not checked, the "Can Use Daylight Savings" feature has no effect, and the Standard Time Zone settings are used.
