Why Does My Sent for Review Date Match My Local Time Zone?
Review status dates in zipBoard, such as "Sent for review on [date]" and "Seen on [date]", are automatically formatted to match the time zone of your browser or local device. This prevents date-shifting caused by server time zone differences, ensuring your workflow history aligns with your actual workday.
In zipBoard, review status labels such as "Sent for review on [date]" and "Seen on [date]" automatically adapt to the time zone your browser or device uses.
For example, if you upload a document or send it for review on August 1st in your local time, it will correctly display "Sent for review on Aug 1".
This ensures your project history matches your actual workday, completely independent of where our server is hosted.
How the Timestamps Work in zipBoard
zipBoard automatically adapts these timestamps to match your local calendar day. Instead of relying on server time zones, review dates are formatted right on your screen as you view them. This ensures you never experience confusing date-shifting discrepancies, keeping your review schedule perfectly aligned with your local workday.
How the Timestamps Work in Distributed Teams
Since zipBoard automatically aligns review dates with each team member's local time, collaborators working across different time zones will always see status activity and timelines reflected accurately on their own local calendars, making cross-border communication seamless and clear.
