Date Properties

Starting with version 10, Aras Innovator displays date properties based on user’s language preferences specified in the browser. Date-Times are stored in the database as UTC (Universal Time Code).

On the client, the date-time is interpreted one of two ways.

• If the Corporate Time Zone is set, then all DateTime values are displayed and applied in Corporate Time Zone.
• If the Corporate Time Zone is not set, then all DateTime values are displayed and applied in the time zone established by the local client session.

For user input, the new date dialog indicates whether the date-time input is based on local time zone or corporate time zone Time indicates whether to pass a specific Time Value or to use None, in which case 12AM is used instead, although the UI may not display this option if time is not part of the property’s pattern. The Time Zone set of radio-buttons serves only as an indicator of what time zone is used by the client. If a ‘Corporate Time Zone’ is used by Aras Innovator, then the Corporate radio button is checked and the Local radio button is disabled. If a ‘Corporate Time Zone’ is not used by Aras Innovator, then the Local radio button is checked and the Corporate radio button is disabled.
