Sorry i am still very new to outsystem can you advice me where do i apply this time zone UTC+ 8

Thank you

You don't have to do or apply anything, this is normal behaviour on reactive and mobile apps.  

As different users can be using your app in different timezones, by default all datetimes are in the user's timezone on the browser/device side, and are in the server's timezone on server / database side.

If your server is in UTC zone, then they are stored in UTC.

So yes it is a bit weird if you don't know about this, but ask yourself what problem you have with this for your use case, if the answer is none, then just leave this normal behaviour as is.

Thank you for responding, so if my server zone is UTC then when i export i will need to add 8 hours to get Singapore time is my assumption correct ?

yes, you'll need to ask yourself in what timezone the report should be, and convert it.  Maybe not just add 8 hours, but use a conversion service (don't know about singapore, but some places have Daylight savings)

Hi Dorine,

Do you know if there is anyway to NOT make OutSystems convert the time? I have a usecase with a log table where I would like to show the UTC time (or CET/CEST) to make sure that the order is logical across timezones without having to think back to original time.

Hi Max, if I understand correctly, the logs are all recorded correctly in your servers timezon (UTC)  and you are developing some UI where you want to see it unconverted, so in UTC, no matter where the user is.

What you can do is add a calculated column to your aggregate and convert your datetime there.  Either to text, or split in 2 calculated columns one for the date part and one for the time part.  This should work, as this automatic conversion happens only for datetimes and only after server action or aggregate is done, I think.
