Set the time zone

You can set the time zone in which the Alarm Control shows the alarm and event records.

You can either set the time display to a predefined time zone, or to the client time zone. The client time zone is the time zone of the computer on which the Alarm Control is running.

The Client Time Zone setting is useful if you are deploying an application using the Alarm Control to a different time zone.

For example, if you develop your application in the Pacific Time zone and deploy it to two computers in the time zones Central Time and Eastern Time, you can ensure the Alarm Control shows the local time for each deployment by setting the time zone to Client Time Zone.

To set the time zone

1. Double-click the Alarm Control on the canvas. The Edit Animations dialog box appears.

2. Click Time Settings. The Time Settings page appears.

3. In the Time Zone list, select a time zone.

   

4. Click OK.
