Daylight Saving Time Overview

Introduction

This enhancement allows administrators to create and manage a list of available daylight saving time rules that are available for each time zone. Administrators can then set the daylight saving time based on the chosen time zone for users or at a session level.

When users export appointments in their learning plan to their Microsoft Outlook calendar (though the LearnFlex Calendar feature), the session appointment times can reflect Daylight Saving Time when configured.

Additional details are now available in a user’s Microsoft Outlook calendar when details have been exported to it. These details can include:

·        Course Name

·        Course Number

·        Course Inquiries

·        Description

·        Session Start Date

·        Session End Date

·        Session Cancellation Date

·        Presenter/Instructor Names

·        Local Start Time

·        Local End Time

·        Location

·        Unmanaged Room

Note: Only those fields with values will be included in the email. They will also be language-specific where applicable.
