Enabling timezone selection on documents

The timezone picker overrides the query timezone for a single document without changing your profile settings. When enabled, a timezone menu appears in the document header and dashboard footer so you and your viewers can switch the timezone used for all queries in the document. You can also apply timezone overrides to deliveries and downloads.

Enabling the timezone picker

To use the timezone picker, enable all the following settings:

1. Enable the User-specific Timezones connection setting

   Your admin must enable the underlying connection’s User-specific Timezones setting.

2. Enable the Timezone override organization setting

   Your admin must enable the Timezone override default document ability.

3. Enable the Timezone override document setting

   A user with Editor, Manager, or Owner permissions on the document must enable the document’s Timezone override setting. See Dashboard settings for more information.

Note

Embed users will have access to the timezone picker when all of the above settings are enabled.

Using the timezone picker

When all three settings are enabled, the timezone picker displays in the document’s header and the footer of the dashboard:

Use the picker to select one of the following:

• Viewer’s timezone - Each viewer’s profile timezone
• UTC - Coordinated Universal Time
• A specific timezone - For example, America/Denver

Your selection persists when navigating between the dashboard and workbook in the document, ensuring a consistent timezone experience as you move between viewing and editing your analysis.

Tip

You can also override timezones in deliveries, dashboard downloads, and query result downloads.
