    Charts Default Timezone

    Select one of the following options:

    • Use the global timezone: Displays data in the time zone specified in the global setting.
      Learn more about global settings in Configuring-the-global-settings.

    • Specified timezone: Displays data in the time zone that you select from the list. The time zone list is enabled only when you select Specified timezone.  
      You can check whether the time zones in the list follow the Daylight Saving Time (DST): 

      • The Standard Time label on the time zones indicates that these time zones will not be affected by DST anytime during the year.
      • The time zones without the Standard Time label follow standard time during the Fall season but will be affected by DST during the Summer season.

      For example, Argentina Standard Time indicates non-DST and Eastern Time indicates DST-affected time zones. 

      Important: If a user specifies a time zone, it takes precedence over the time zone that you set globally.
