Local time handling

Presentation

Date and time are expressed in GMT (UTC) in Exchange message tracking files. Promodag Reports is able to recognize your time zone; so you can either generate reports using GMT, or local time. Time zones with daylight saving times can be handled as well. Local time is configured at the database level. The original date and time are still recorded in the database so it is always possible to modify the time zone.

Configuring and changing Time Zone

The time zone for a database is configured when a new database is created in File > New Database.

Time zone for a database can be changed at any time in the File > Database Properties menu.

Local time for reports

Local time or GMT (UTC) time can be selected for reports by the General tab of Tools > Options.
