Reservation Date/Time fields

You may have resources in different timezones, this article explains how to deal with those.

Step-by-step guide

1. In the GoMeddo app, navigate to the Resources tab

2. In the Resource hierarchy, make sure that every timezone's top node (defining the timezone of itself and its children) has the correct timezone filled in in the Timezone field. Its children will automatically be given the same timezone

3. Now strictly follow the following matrix for inputting and outputting reservation dates and times in either the reservation's resource's timezone or the viewing user's timezone:

   Input / Output	Fields Label	Field API Name	What?	Where?	Type
   Input on Reservation form and findAvailableDimensionIds	Start (local time)	B25__StartLocal__c	Start date & time	Resource local timezone	Date/Time
   Input on Reservation form and findAvailableDimensionIds	End (local time)	B25__EndLocal__c	End date & time	Resource local timezone	Date/Time
   Output	Local Start Date	B25__Start_Date__c	Start date	Resource local timezone	Date
   Output	Local End Date	B25__End_Date__c	End date	Resource local timezone	Date
   Output	Local Start time	B25__Local_Start_Time__c	Start time	Resource local timezone	Text(5)
   Output	Local End time	B25__Local_End_Time__c	End time	Resource local timezone	Text(5)
   Output	Local Start Datetime	B25__Start_Local_DateTime__c	Start date & time	Resource local timezone	Formula(Text)
   Output	Local End Datetime	B25__End_Local_DateTime__c	End date & time	Resource local timezone	Formula(Text)
   Output / Input through API or Process	User Start Datetime	B25__Start__c	Start date & time	Viewing user timezone	Date/Time
   Output / Input through API or Process	User End Datetime	B25__End__c	End date & time	Viewing user timezone	Date/Time

Example

Timezones

The calendar displays resources in its own timezone. Even if there are two resources shown in the calendar with different timezones, this will display the reservations in these resources in respect of that resource's timezone. The calendar does not automatically adjust itself based on the user-selected Locale and Timezone.

For Example, if you have two resources, Resource One in (GMT+01:00) Central European Standard Time (Europe/Amsterdam) and Resource Two in (GMT+00:00) Greenwich Mean Time (Europe/London) dragging a reservation with start-time 15:00 from Resource One to Resource Two will result in the local time not being changed, the GMT times will be changed.
