By default, all dates/times are stored in UTC in Outsystems Cloud. It would be nice to have an option in Service Center to store dates/times in the time zone you select so that anything entered or saved in your custom apps will use that time zone instead of UTC (and have to be converted each and every time you report on items that were entered into an Outsystems application). For instance, if we have an application that contains schedules for furniture repairs with dates/times. The time that is stored is in UTC, even though the majority of our clients live in EST. This forces us to have some sort of conversion for any reporting we do directly off the data.

I understand your suggestion, but what about applications that are used internationally by different time zones?

That's why I was hoping it would be configurable - provide the option to either default to UTC or a time zone of your choice.
