Re: Period displayed according to the user computer/laptop time set?

 

Hello Andrew,

you are right, after the offline capabilities were introduced the data
entry module now uses the date time from the browser (through
javascript) which is based on the system time of the local computer.
So people should make sure that their system time is correct. I agree
that this should be communicated in training sessions. If its a huge
problem we could maybe come up with some sort of function which
compares the time settings on the client with the server and gives a
warning if its different.
