A &#8220;reference time zone&#8221; is your team&#8217;s agreement as to what that &#8220;12pm&#8221; means. For SeedCode, we have users in multiple time zones, but our reference time zone for events is Pacific. The users living outside of the Pacific time zone have just had to manually adjust their events accordingly\u2026 until now! Most teams already have such a reference, even if it&#8217;s only in your head. In this mod, you&#8217;ll make it explicit.<\/p>\n<p>After implementing this mod, if you are in Pacific time and your \u201creference time\u201d is in Eastern, the field on your event record will actually be saved as 3:00 PM. =)<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a bit of work to implement this into your calendar, but you should be able to get there by following these instructions closely. If you run into any issues, please <a href=\"\/contact\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\">reach out to us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Downloading the Example File<\/h2>\n<p>First, download the example file, try it out, and see if this time zone behavior is right for your team: <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.seedcode.com\/rootimages\/stikipad\/dayback\/timezones\/DayBackTimeZones.zip\" rel=\"noreferrer\">DayBackTimeZones<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll copy a few things out of this example and paste them into your file following the instructions below. You&#8217;ll add a new web viewer selector, a layout, scripts, and some DBk_WebViewerSource calculation additions to your file.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Next, <b>Make a backup! <\/b>Seriously, backups are super important if anything goes wrong or doesn\u2019t work as expected, and this customization can make big changes to how your calendar works. <em>Since this is a fairly major modification to your file, you might also want to consider making the changes to a separate development copy first and testing it out with a small group of users before implementing into your live DayBack file.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Add Switching Time Zones to Your File<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> You\u2019ll need to create a new number type field using Global storage in your CalendarInterface table called \u201cTimezoneReference\u201d. If you are using FileMaker Pro Advanced, you can just copy the field from the example file into your CalendarInterface table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Create a new layout in your file based on the \u201cCalendarInterface\u201d table and copy the contents of the \u201cTimezoneReference\u201d layout from the example file into your new layout. Resize the layout dimensions to match the contents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Exit layout mode and set your reference time. In most cases, you\u2019ll want to click the \u201cUse Server Time\u201d option to set the reference time to your server\/host time zone. When set to server time, the scripts and calculations have been set to always base the calculations on the current server time, so even when your server time changes time zones, the calculations will be in reference to its current time.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this can be an issue if your server location is not consistent, and moves from one-time zone to another. In this case, you\u2019ll want to pick a static time for your reference time. You could choose to stick with GMT by clicking the \u201cUse GMT\u201d button, which sets the value to 0. Since GMT never changes, this will always be consistent. Or, you could enter the time zone offset, in minutes, in the field. Just keep in mind that, if setting a static time manually, you will need to change it manually if Daylight Savings is observed in that time zone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> On your file\u2019s \u201cCalendar\u201d layout, delete the existing webviewer_calendar object, copy the webviewer_calendar, webviewer_timezoneSelector, and label_timezone objects from the example file\u2019s \u201cCalendar\u201d layout, then paste them into your layout. Click Yes, when asked to increase the size of the layout to accommodate the objects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Copy the new section as pictured below from the DBk_WebViewerSource calculation in the SampleEvents table of the example file into each of your source tables\u2019 DBk_WebViewerSource calculation. This will allow the calendar to display the events on the calendar adjusted for the time zone selected. This is commented out with \u201cBegin Time Zone Adjustments\u201d and \u201cEnd Time Zone Adjustments\u201d in the calculation. Do not replace the entire contents of this calculation, as you\u2019ve likely made your own customizations to the variables that you don\u2019t want to overwrite.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DBkWebViewerSource.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11255 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DBkWebViewerSource-1024x805.png\" alt=\"Example of switching time zones in FileMaker\" width=\"1024\" height=\"805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DBkWebViewerSource-1024x805.png 1024w, https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DBkWebViewerSource-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DBkWebViewerSource-768x604.png 768w, https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DBkWebViewerSource-1536x1208.png 1536w, https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DBkWebViewerSource.png 1660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> Copy the lines pictured below from the \u201cCreate Edit Delete Event\u2026\u201d script into your own \u201cCreate Edit Delete Event\u2026\u201d script, once again, commented with \u201cBegin Time Zone Adjustments\u201d and \u201cEnd Time Zone Adjustments\u201d.\u00a0 This will make sure that we\u2019re writing the data back to the event adjusted for the time zone offset displayed on the calendar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CreateEditDeleteEvent.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11256 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CreateEditDeleteEvent-1024x781.png\" alt=\"Time zone adjustment in FileMaker\" width=\"1024\" height=\"781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CreateEditDeleteEvent-1024x781.png 1024w, https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CreateEditDeleteEvent-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CreateEditDeleteEvent-768x586.png 768w, https:\/\/seedcode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CreateEditDeleteEvent.png 1378w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> We need to allow for the new Web Viewer time zone selector to write back the time zone value to the $$sc_TimezoneSelected global variable so that the calendar can be adjusted accordingly.
