Date and Time
The standard time for date/time storage throughout the system is US Eastern time. This means that for every EM/PM user, the calendar rolls over from one calendar day to the next at midnight US Eastern. This does not match the local time zone and calendar for many users.
Time display
Time information appears at the bottom of the screen. Depending on the site's configuration, two times may appear: your current local time and date next to the current time and date for the EM site (US Eastern time). The time/date appears in 24-hour clock format followed by month and day.
The site time displays as a link. Click the link to open a Time Zone Information pop-up window. This will show site time, the time reported by your browser (when available), and the difference between the two times (when your time is available).
Date format
Dates are displayed in all folders. All dates reflect US Eastern time.
When a calendar date field is available for data entry, the mm/dd/yyyy format must be used. Use the calendar icon to select the desired date to ensure proper formatting.
