Time zones table  

Time zones can be identified for companies that have offices spread across multiple time zones. They are identified as relative to a standard zone, usually the one in which the computer is located. This allows the system to stamp transactions (e.g. work orders, etc.) with the actual time based on a facility's location rather than on the computer location.

   Offset Hours is the number of hours difference between this zone and the selected standard zone (where the computer is located), to 1 decimal. This can be either positive or negative. This can be left blank for the standard zone.

   Daylight Savings identifies whether or not the time zone observes daylight savings time.
