Issue: I'm sending records with timestamp field values over to an external system, but we have AR Servers in multiple time zones that could be performing this operation. In filter workflow the timestamp value sent is displayed in the format according to the time zone that server is in that processes that filter action. This can behavior can be seen in notification emails that display timestamps. Options I can think of: 1. Send $SERVER$ value and state to receiver how to alter time received based on the $SREVER$ value. 2. Alter the time zone on the AR Server so they are all on the same time zone regardless if physically they are not. Not sure the side effects of this though. 3. Create separate filters and specify on the run-if qualification $SERVER$ = "XXXXX" and adjust date/time field value accordingly. I'm leaning towards option 3.
