Shyam,

If you are willing to go through the hassle, you can do something similar to
this.

 

Determine a mechanism to 'translate' the server time to user time.you could
either store timezones or 'offset from server', or however you decide to do
it.then create a temp date/time field and copy the timestamp you want into
that field and adjust it appropriately for your user ($Date/Time$ - ($offset
* 3600).then use that temp field in your notifications.

Subject: Display date/time field values in notifications using user's time
zone setting.

 

** 

Listers,

The OOB notifications display the date/time values in the server time zone
by default. This behavior is not desirable and we are in the process of
investigating options to display date/time field values in the email
recipient user's time zone setting. The behavior is already available in
Remedy User and on the browsers through the Mid Tier. I am hoping there is a
way to accomplish the same behavior for notifications.

The time zone information for the user can be stored in the users' profile
in the CTM:People form and looked up on the fly before generating the
notifications. I know there are application commands for calculating
Business Time and such that will give times in the past/future. I don't
believe these actually will do what we intend to accomplish.  

Are there ways to convert the values for the various date/time fields being
displayed in the notifications on the fly? Has anyone done something similar
before and is willing to share their experience? 

Thanks in advance,
--
