Time zone capabilities - the basics

Because of the increasing demand to use CAS products internationally, customers need time zone features that enable them to work together across different time zones. In this context, it is important to correctly edit and display appointments or activities.

The Timezone module requires a separate license. This license is free of charge. If necessary, contact your administrator, your CAS Partner, or CAS Software AG.

Your benefits

• Using CAS genesisWorld for international projects improves cooperation and collaboration.
• Time zone capabilities are used by all clients.
• Appointments are displayed in the calendars of the time zone being used.

Which fields are time zone capable?

• The Start, End, and Reminder fields in appointments, tasks, jobs, holidays, and phone calls are time zone capable.
• The Start and End fields in time records are time zone capable.
• Furthermore, the Sent and Received on fields in archived e-mails are time zone capable.
• If you use extensions, additional fields in other data record types could be time zone capable. For more information see the respective user guide on the CAS Product Documentation page.

Important information

If the time zone ability has been activated in the Management Console, this setting cannot be undone afterwards.

Time zone capabilities only apply to certain data record types and fields.
