Overview
The date and time displayed in Job Logs on the Status page and Billing Summaries are controlled by your timezone settings in your User Profile. Understanding and configuring these settings ensures that timestamps appear in your preferred timezone for easier tracking and analysis.
Changing Your Timezone Settings
To modify your timezone preferences:
Click your username on the bottom-left corner of the platform page and select Preferences from the menu
Locate the Timezone configuration section
Select your preferred timezone from the available options
Save your changes
What This Setting Affects
Your timezone configuration impacts the following areas:
Job Logs: Timestamps in job logs on the Status page will display in your selected timezone
Billing Summaries: All date and time information in billing reports will reflect your timezone preference
Important Note About Process Output Logs
The time displayed in the process_output.log file generated in your job Results is set to UTC by default and cannot be changed through your profile settings. This ensures consistency across different users and systems accessing the same job outputs.
Verification
After updating your timezone settings, you can verify the changes by:
Checking timestamps on recent job logs in the Status page
Reviewing date formats in your Billing Summaries
Confirming that times now display in your expected timezone
