Time Input

Default Time Zone

Set this dropdown to the time zone that you want all events to be relative to. The default time zone gets used in a couple of ways. When one-time events are exported as iCal entries, the times for the event are converted to GMT. The source time zone is necessary for this conversion.

The sync program also uses the time zone. All recurring iCal entries that are exported are written in this time zone. Finally, the scheduled time for Notifications and Reminder processing is in this time zone.

Enable Time Zone Support

If this option is set to Yes, then individual Users will be able to specify their time zone and you can specify the time zone for events that you create. connectDaily will automatically handle converting Events from the Event time zone to the User's time zone.

If you have events in multiple time zones, you should set this to yes. Here's an example of WILL happen if you don't.

A customer of ours posts a national meeting calendar. All of the events were put in with the local time regardless of their location. The system default time zone was set to America/Denver (US/Mountain). When end users viewed the calendar, everything wa OK. However, when they subscribed to the calendar using mobile devices, all of the times were wrong (except those in US/Mountain).

The moral of the story is that even though it's a little more work, if you have events in multiple time zones, you need to enable time zone handling for things to come out right.

Time Format

Toggle between the default format for the browser's locale, or 24 hour military time format.

Time Input Type

connectDaily supports time input for events using a time picker, or as free form text. If you want your times to all be entered consistently in the correct format, use the time picker. Even if you pick free form text, the input value will be parsed and reformatted to the appropriate format for your locale.
