Jira timezone
Jira timezone option is based on the 'Default user time zone' from System/General configuration, and displays all logged hours in that timezone. Why is this important? If your employees are located across multiple timezones, you need to make sure that their timezones are set properly so that the report is consistent.
Example
User | Time zone | Worklog value | Worklog date |
|---|---|---|---|
| User1 | Asia/Singapore, UTC+8 | 1h | March 10, 2019, 01:00 AM |
| User2 | Asia/Singapore, UTC+8 | 2h | April 10, 2019, 8:00 PM |
| User3 | Europe/Warsaw, UTC+1 | 3h | May 10, 2019, 08:00 PM |
| User4 | America/New_York, UTC-5 | 4h | June 10, 2019, 05:00 PM |
| User5 | America/Los_Angeles, UTC-8 | 5h | July 10, 2019, 05:00 PM |
