Behind the scenes, all SmartSuite date and time values are stored in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, equivalent to GMT). Your time zone setting specifies the time zone where the date and time information is displayed to you.
You can change your time zone in your user profile to reflect your preferred location, or update your locale to customize the display of time and date information.
Managing Time Zone and Locale
Change your time zone or locale
Changing your preferences is simple, just follow these easy steps:
Click on your user profile icon in the upper-right hand corner of the SmartSuite interface to open your user profile options.

Editing date and time values
SmartSuite displays date and time values to individual Members based on their selected time zone. You add or modify values in your time zone, and other users will view those values in their selected time zone.
What happens when I change my locale?
Your locale selection sets the display format for dates, times and numbers in SmartSuite. For example:
English/US:
Date Format: MM/DD/YYYY
Time Format: 12 hour
Number Format: thousands separator is comma, decimal separator is period
German/Germany:
Date Format: DD.MM.YYYY
Time Format: 24 hour
Number Format: thousands separator is period, decimal separator is comma
Note that the values in currency fields have locale-specified formatting but the selected currency and value does not change. Currencies are displayed with the currency symbol and positioning that is customary for the specific currency and is not impacted by selected user locale.
