JS7 supports time zones at a number of levels:

• JS7 ComponentsProducts
  • JOC Cockpit, Controller and Agents can be operated in different time zones. Time zones are preset by the operating system.
  • This includes running a number of Agents in different time zones.
• Scheduling Objects
  • Orders are scheduled for a point in time calculated for the given time zone by the orders' JS7 - Schedules.
  • The time zone of the workflow is taken account of when the JS7 - Admission Times for Jobs are calculated.
  • The JS7 - Daily Plan considers the Daily Plan time zone. A Daily Plan does not necessarily have to span midnight to midnight, instead the Daily Plan can use any hour of the day as the starting point for its 24 hours period.
    • The Daily Plan's time zone is taken account of in both the start of the Daily Plan period and the point in time when the Daily Plan is calculated.
    • Cyclic workflows that make use of the JS7 - Cycle Instruction also take account of the Daily Plan time zone.
• Graphical User Interface (GUI)
  • Any dates and times that are shown in the GUI are first converted to the time zone specified in the user's profile.
    • This applies to order start dates, job admission times, entries of the JS7 - History etc.
    • This also applies to timestamps of order logs and task logs that are executed on Agents in different time zones. Users can choose from their user profile settings if they prefer to be presented with original log timestamps or if they prefer to have timestamps converted to the time zone specified in the user profile.
  • When adding orders by the GUI then the time zone of the order's start date is specified.
  • When posting notices to JS7 - Notice Boards then the time zone for the notice's lifetime is specified.
  • Any time zones applied by the GUI by default are populated from the user profile's time zone setting and can be modified by the user.

• changes for individual countries due to government decisions. This also applies to changes to the date and time of daylight saving time,
• Note that such changes can occur at short notice and therefore might not be reflected in the time zone database that ships with an earlier JS7 release.
• Consider updating JS7 at a regular basis in order to receive up-to-date time zone databases.
