Time zone updates
The definition of time zones on the Agylia LMS has been updated.
Previously, the time zones that the LMS supported were based on those defined by the .NET Framework. So for example, time zones such as:
- GMT Standard Time
- Romance Standard Time
- Europe Standard Time
- Eastern Standard Time
The LMS has now been updated to use the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) defined set time zones, which are more widely used. Any existing time zones, and time zones specified within user profiles, have automatically been migrated to the new values, and retain the same offsets from UTC.
If you use the bulk user import function, and you specifically set the time zones for users in the imported CSV file, you will need to ensure that you use the new time zone values. The full set of time zones previously in use on the LMS, and their mapping to the new values, is detailed at the end of this article. You can find out more about the IANA time zones on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.
If you have any questions about the update to the time zone functionality of the LMS, please contact the support team.
