The time zone for the schedule of the task’s primary owner.If multiple users are assigned to a task, the system uses one of the following, as configured in the system-wide project preferences: When a user is assigned to the task, the task uses that user’s schedule. For example, when someone creates a task in the project and hasn’t assigned anyone to it yet, the task uses the project schedule. This schedule might be different from a project schedule. Users: A Workfront administrator (or someone with Edit access to users) can select a schedule for individual user in the user’s profile. This determines the scheduling of the tasks in the project, based on the working hours set for the assignees’ time zones. Projects: A project creator can select a schedule for an individual project. Once the administrator creates the schedules, they can be associated with certain projects and users: Workfront administrators create separate schedules for each time zone within your organization to ensure that work is scheduled appropriately for everyone, wherever they are. Use text fields instead of date fields in a custom form.Use calculated time fields in a custom form.You can help users working more easily across several time zones in several ways: How you can make it easier for users to work across time zones Because they won’t start working on it until 9:00 their time (noon your time), the task begins and finishes three hours late.įor information configuring your time zone in your user profile, see Configure My Settings.įor information about how a Workfront administrator (or someone with Edit access to users) can configure the time zone in a user profile, see Edit a user’s profile. If the object creator doesn’t note the difference between the assignees’ time zones and make the necessary adjustments when setting object times, or the assignees don’t note that difference, it can be hard to get the timing right while everyone collaborates on the object.Įxample: You configure a one-day task to start at 9:00 AM EST, forgetting that some users on the task work in the PST zone. If it were to display it as 4:00 PM, they would start working on it three hours late. For those users, the start time displays as 1:00 PM. If users in multiple time zones are assigned to an object, Workfront converts the object times for everyone involved, using the time zone configured in each user profile.Įxample: In the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone where you work, you set a task to start at 4:00 PM and assign it to users working in the Pacific Standard Time (PST) zone. Times for an object you work on, such as start and end times The time shown in your outgoing Workfront email messages
The time zone in your user profile should be configured for the location where you work. For more information, see Override Job Role Billing Rates at the project level. The start or end of an overridden billing rate for a project. The time zone for newly added users (before the Workfront administrator configures a different time zone for them based on where they work)įor more information about these two examples, see Configure basic information for your system. The time shown in emails generated by Workfront The time zone for your organization’s Workfront instance is usually set for the location of the main office.
Calculations in a custom form are generated and displayed based on each users' individual time zones. In a custom form attached to an object, date and time statements in calculated custom fields are calculated and saved by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), not by the time zone configurations set for your organization's instance and your user profile.
