Setup Area

Description

Branch Setup

The Time Zone setting on a branch allows you to send in punch times based on differing geographical locations for your crew. This setting is used specifically to send Mobile Crew Time punch data to ADP.

If your branches go into time zones that differ from your database server, then it is important to set the Time Zone on branches.

Personnel Setup

The Time Zone setting on personnel allow you record where a punch took place that may be in a different time zone than the database server or branch. If an employee is part of crew that often works outside of the same time zone as the database server, then you can set the Time Zone on each person to accurately record their working location. The application sends this information along through Mobile Crew Time to ADP for processing.

If no Time Zone is set for the crew, then the application defaults the Time Zone to that of the branch of the order.

This Time Zone setting can also override what is referenced when viewing date and time values in MSWeb. By default, MSWeb utilizes the time associated with the browser running MSWeb. Setting the Time Zone at the personnel level overwrites the browser time zone setting with what is set through Personnel Setup.

Database Server

All MoversSuite date and time fields are based on a “local time,” which is the date, time, and time zone of the database server hosting the MoversSuite database. Manage these date and time settings through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and verify that Daylight Savings (if using) are updated correctly throughout the year.

System Wide Options

The Time Zone set through this admin area confirms the time zone of the database server. This time zone should match the time zone of the SQL Database Server and is passed along to MSWeb as the primary time zone referenced by the application. This Time Zone must be set to accurately view data within MSWeb.
