You can store dates and times in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) so that dates/times can be accurately converted and displayed in the time zone of the location, technician, and user. In addition, time zones can be adjusted for Daylight Savings Time (DST).

Converting Time Zones

Time zones are not immediately converted to GMT as soon as you enable the time zone feature in Setup. After you turn on the time zone view feature, the system will attempt to populate certain specific date/time-related fields in GMT in the database for new records added.
