Set the Project Timezone

Inspire Planner allows you to define the Timezone for your projects. This feature is particularly useful when there are project managers who may be located in one timezone and the assigned resource is located in a different timezone. The Project Manager is able to specify the project timezone so that when he/she is looking at the project schedule, it is displayed using the project timezone.

When a user, who is located in a different timezone, views project tasks, the task start and end times are displayed according to the viewing user's timezone.
 

If you need to add values to the timezone picklist, please see: Updating Timezone Picklist Values.
