The offset, in number of minutes, from UTC time. For example, the Nepal time zone is +5:45 hours from UTC, then you would enter +345. For Pacific Daylight Time, the time is -7:00 hours from UTC, or -420. |

| 4. | Click Save. The new time zone appears in the list. |
Each time that you encounter a time zone field, the time zones are listed in the order you have defined.
Enabling a Time Zone
You can enable an existing time zone.
| 1. | Within the Timezones workspace, select the time zone to enable. |
| 2. | From the toolbar, click Toggle Timezone State. |
The time zone toggles between Yes and No under Is Enabled.
|
|
When you disable a time zone, you lose the sort order. |
Deleting a Time Zone
You can delete a time zone you created if it is not being used on a form. Deleting the time zone field without removing it from a form causes the form to produce unexpected results. We recommend you remove the control from all forms before deleting the time zone from the business object.
| 1. | Within the Configuration Console, open the Business Objects workspace. The business object workspace appears. |
| 2. | Open the business object that contains a time zone field (such as Incident). |
| 3. | From the toolbar, select Object Fields. The field list appears. |
| 4. | Find your time zone field, then click Delete  at the end of the row. Fields with grayed Delete icons cannot be deleted. |
The time zone is now removed.
