[rt-users] Problem with date

[Bryon Baker]

Landon Thanks for the fast response

So if I understand you correctly then when I am update the Resolved date I need to subtract 6 hours making it UTC time and the store that value.

Is the procedure correct?

Thanks

Hi Byron,

AFAIK RT provides it's own offset when printing dates/times in the UI so one must store the date/time as UTC.  What is printed on the console should actually be UTC.  Date/Time entered by users or stored in any way need to be converted to UTC first.
