Doing some checking I can find a couple of different ways to do this, but none of them are absolute.
1. I did a Google search on "javascript get timezone" and found several ways to do this. Most require you to put a .js or .jsp file on the web server and call it (which you can do with a Run Process action and adding a reference to it in the Web Header or Web Footer of the form's view) 2. You can do something where you get the difference between the client time ($TIMESTAMP$ in an Active Link) and the server time ($SERVERTIMESTAMP in an Active Link) and lookup what time zone that would be Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Kevin Shaffer Sent: Monday, April 13, 2015 4:40 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Finding the Local TZ for the User Logged In Number 2.... capture where people are logging in from Kevin Shaffer, Senior Partner Partner IT, Inc.

To display all Dates/Times in the local timezone of the user or 2. To capture where people are located (so it can be reported on) If it is for #1 (display of Dates/Times) then leaving the timezone empty on User Preferences will do that for you (You only need to fill it out of you want to override the automatic internal calculations).

Scenario: A user logs into the Mid-Tier. The customer would like me to capture the local TimeZone of the person that is logged in and automatically update the timezone field on the Locale tab in the User Preferences form for that person. Has anyone had a similar requirement or have any suggestions? TIA Kevin Shaffer, Senior Partner Partner IT, Inc.
