The List of Daylight Saving Time Zones defines the Daylight Saving Time Zone Group. This zone group is used to define the regions where Daylight Saving Time (also known as Summer Time) is observed and those where it is not observed. When address profiles are created or modified, the Daylight Saving offset is calculated by referencing the zones in the Daylight Saving Time Zone Group and the corresponding Daylight Saving offsets.
Transportation Manager is delivered with data that defines (approximately) Daylight Saving Time observance in Canada and the United States. If necessary, system provided data for daylight saving time designations can be amended or extended.
Daylight Saving offsets are stored in each entity profile, but the default value can be overwritten.
List
By default, the List of Daylight Saving Time Zones is sorted in ascending order by Zone ID (Daylight Saving Time Zone).
For information on icons and functionalities available on the list pages, see Web Interface lists.
Properties
The properties for a Daylight Saving Time Zone are identical to the properties of a generic zone, with the exception that Daylight Saving Time Zones allow an offset (expressed in hours and decimal portion thereof) to be maintained. Zones created as Daylight Saving Time Zones cannot be reused in other zone groups or as generic zones.
