Time Zones Alignment

By default, the X axis of the trend viewer represents the client's local time. When Time Zones Alignment is enabled, the X axis represents the server's local time. If there are multiple servers, for different pens, each pen will be displayed at the server's local time.

The X axis's idea of "now" will aligns with the client time zone, regardless of the Time Zones Alignment setting.

Example

We have a client in the Eastern time zone (UTC-5) and three servers located in the Eastern (UTC-5), Central (UTC-6), and Mountain (UTC-7) time zones. The client is showing three pens, one from each server.

An event happens simultaneously on all three servers. It occurs at 12:00 UTC (7 AM Eastern, 6 AM Central, 5 AM Mountain).

This table describes how that event will show on the viewer in the Eastern time zone:

Setting	Result
Time Zones Alignment is disabled (default)	The event will appear for all pens at 7 AM.
Time Zones Alignment is enabled	The event will show at 7 AM for the Eastern server's pen, 6 AM for the Central server's pen, and 5 AM for the Mountain server's pen.
