Time Zones

This article describes how Time Zone differences work in PantrySoft.

Event Records Reflect a Specific Time Zone. 

Records that represent events, including VisitsAppointments, and Registrations, assume a time zone commensurate with the single, real-world location entered for your pantry.

Your Pantry has a Time Zone. 

During setup, a PantrySoft employee registers the location of your main facility, including its time zone. From that point forward, new event records (Visit, Appointment, Registration) will by default show current time for your org's time zone.

Event records show your Pantry's Time Zone. 

This means that wherever you are, even travelling away from your pantry's native time zone, new event records will still reflect the pantry's local time.

Database Time (Advanced Users). Time is stored in the database as US Mountain time. If somehow you have direct access to your database, this is the time zone in which all events are stored. These records are then translated by the app for display purposes according to the pantry's time zone.
