Showing Time Zones When Adding a Schedule

Time zone is displayed when creating a new schedule for both the run time and the validity.

• For multi-tenant deployments, the time zone is taken from the tenant settings that you can change in the Tenant Management portal.
• For single-tenant deployments, you need to edit the SQL database to change the time zone, which is set to Eastern Standard Time by default. Open the dbo.TBL_Settings table and set the TimeZoneId row to a valid Microsoft Windows time zone string. You can use the sys.time_zone_info view to see the full list of supported time zones.

The same Time Zone is also shown in the Schedules table in both the Running Pattern and the Next Run columns.
