Controller

The Controller does not use any time zone specification except for makes use of the time zone reported by the operating system.:

• The Controller forwards dates to JOC Cockpit in UTC time and in case of JS7 - Order State Transitions with Agents, it adds the Agent's time zone if applicable.

When manually adding orders to a workflow for a particular date then the time zone is populated preset from the user profile's time zone like this:
