Time zones in resource plans
Time zones are important in resource management when the users and groups doing the resource tasks are located in different locations.
Users maintain their time in the My Calendar module and resource managers use the resource workbench or resource plan to assign tasks to various users.
All users are assigned a schedule. If a user schedule changes, all time calculations change automatically. The schedules can be floating or time zone-specific.
A floating schedule is the same in any time zone. For example, if a resource manager in Amsterdam sets a floating schedule for 08:00–17:00, a user in San Jose sees the schedule as 08:00–17:00.
When a schedule is defined in a specific time zone, users in different time zones see the schedule with their own time zone applied. For example, if the resource manager sets a time zone-specific schedule for 08:00–17:00 in Amsterdam, the San Jose user sees the schedule as 23:00 of the previous day to 07:00 on the current day because the San Jose time zone is nine hours behind the Amsterdam time zone.
