What happens when my region switches to daylight saving time?

When configuring a schedule, it is necessary to consider whether daylight saving time needs to be taken into account or not. CMM provides two different time zone settings to cater for each scenario.

 

If Use local time is selected during Step 2 when creating a schedule, the schedule will automatically be updated when daylight saving time starts or ends. By using the Continent and Region drop down menus, the relevant local time zone can be selected.


However, if Use UTC is selected, the schedules will never update automatically for daylight saving time. If changes need to be made, a user must manually make them by editing the schedule. In such cases, the Continent and Region settings are not needed so they will not appear on the screen.
