Hi Folks,

I am using the server-powered calendar and we have users who log on from various time zones. I was wondering if you would consider developing a url adjustable interface setting so we could set the proper time zone. This way we could enable the “Now” indicator.

We do have timezone features built-in.

After you enable timezone support, you can store your dates in UTC and the events will always show in your current time zone.

It takes a little more in the back-end because you’ll likely need both local time for viewing events in your FileMaker layouts & UTC time for international support – but we pass both parameters every time the action script runs. So it’s certainly feasible.

Does that work for your needs?

How would you envision a URL setting working?

Hi,

I was envisioning a url setting such as &tz=-8 for pacific time zone.

Thanks — Mark

We can add something like that for you, if you’d like. We’d need more details about how this behavior would work.

We’ll contact you offline.
