How to get the system Timezone and it's name?
Question

Hello community,

I want to get the timezone and it's name from the system. 

If my server time is UTC but if I'm accessing the application in India, it should me timezone as UTC+5:30 and Timezone name as 'India Standard Time'.

How to get it?

Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,

Suraj Borade

Hi Suraj,

You need to use this component https://www.outsystems.com/forge/Component_Details.aspx?ProjectId=500. You can get system timezone and also convert to your timezone if you want.

Hi Marcelo,

I tried that component but it is giving wrong information.


I'm in India timezone, so it should have returned me Indian timezone name and not Coordinated Universal Time.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Suraj,

The component gave you the server timezone. If you want the client timezone you only can get it with JS. Look to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1091372/getting-the-clients-timezone-in-javascript.
