World Clock web part question about time zones
I've added several World Clock web parts and they are not showing the time zone correctly. I am in Eastern Time Zone, the Sharepoint hub regional settings are set to Eastern and my personal settings ...
Came across this question when I was looking for something else so I don't know if this is still outstanding, but I actually know the answer! Here is what is going on - and I agree, it makes NO sense. The "one hour ahead" is not relative to YOU, it's relative to the first time zone in the web part - in the example in your picture, Mountain Time is one hour ahead of Pacific Time. All true, but completely confusing if I am in Eastern time. Instead of having all your time zones in one web part, the work-around is to add a separate web part for each time zone. That will ensure that you see the time as it is in each local location without the confusing "relative time" listed.
I missed your response. It looks like my company has disconnected the login ability via O365! In my case, I'm tracking 18 locations - some time zones are the same, of course. I had not tried to put 1 per web part but I will test your suggestion. The web part unfortunately takes up a lot of room on a page. With 18, that's pretty much the entire page. Thanks for the insight!
- Try using a three column layout - one time zone in each column. I typically do this at the bottom of the page to minimize scrolling. You can add an anchor link at the top so users can jump to that section easily.
