Setting the time zone default across all groups:

There is an organization-wide setting for the default time zone. It affects the default time zone used when you edit an event, as well as the time zone that is selected by default in the weekly calendar view (for users who haven't already made a different selection). To change this default:

1. go to the utility bar
   
2. select: Administration > Configuration
   
3. select: Groups > Manage Time Zones
   (http://www.mysite.org/apps/org/workgroup/admin/time_zones.php)
4. find the time zone you want to configure as the default
   
5. check the radio button in the "Default" column on that row (not the checkbox next to the time zone's name)
6. scroll to the bottom of the page and click [Submit Changes]

Note: Groups makes an adjustment for Daylight Savings Time (ie, Pacific Time, Pacific Daylight Time, British Time, British Summer Time). The UTC offset automatically adjusts for summer.

Note: You must have Super Administrator privileges to make this change.

Changing the time zone default for a particular group:

1. go to the home page of the group in question
2. click: Settings
   
3. click: Change Defaults
4. go to the Time Zone field
5. select the desired time zone
6. click [Submit Changes]
   

Note: You must have groups administrator privileges to make this change.

Changing the time zone default for a particular user:

From the Calendar tab of a group, clicking the date hyperlink on a day displays that week's events in more detail. In this view, you can translate the times of the events to display in whatever time zone you want:

1. pick the desired time zone from the drop-down selection list
2. click: [Change Timezone]
