Configure the time zone setting for badge and daily log data

Add a script include in the Global scope to consider the affected user's time zone when you run a diagnostic request using the badge reader or user daily log data source.

   var TimeZoneUtils = Class.create();
   TimeZoneUtils.prototype = {
       initialize: function() {
       },
       getTimeZone: function(timeZoneString) {
           return Packages.java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZoneString);
       },
       getTimeZoneOffSet: function(timeZoneString, gdt) {
           var timeZoneObj = this.getTimeZone(timeZoneString);
           var dateTime = new GlideDateTime();
           if (gdt) {
               dateTime.setValue(gdt);
           }
           dateTime.setTZ(timeZoneObj);
           return dateTime.getTZOffset();
       },
       getBoundaryDates: function(timeZoneString, offset, dateTime) {
           var tz = this.getTimeZone(timeZoneString);
           var gd = new GlideDateTime();
           gd.setValue(dateTime);
           gd.add(offset);
           var startTime = '00:00:00';
           var endTime = '23:59:59';
           var actualDate = new GlideDate();
           actualDate.setValue(gd.getValue());     
           var startDateTime = new GlideDateTime();
           startDateTime.setTZ(tz);
           startDateTime.setDisplayValueInternal(actualDate + ' ' + startTime);
           var endDateTime = new GlideDateTime();
           endDateTime.setTZ(tz);
           endDateTime.setDisplayValueInternal(actualDate + ' ' + endTime);
           return {
               startDateTime: startDateTime,
               endDateTime: endDateTime
           };
       },
       type: 'TimeZoneUtils'
   };
   

6. Click Submit.

Result

The script is used when you run the diagnostic request using the badge reader or user daily log data source. These data sources identify the potentially exposed users who might have come in contact with an affected user. The script considers the affected user's time zone while calculating the date and time from the badge swipe data or daily log data.
