Time Zone (Environment setting)

Tools that honor the Time Zone environment will specify the time zone in which the date fields are stored.

Usage notes

  • If a layer contains date fields with dates stored in a local time zone, such as eastern standard time, specify the time zone in which the dates are recorded. This allows the data to correctly store date and time values and allows clients from different time zones to display the values in the time zone in which the data was created.
  • If the output is a scene layer package, the date fields are encoded in ECMA ISO 8601 standard as UTC or as a user-specified time zone.

Dialog syntax
