If your team works across the globe, “Is the task due at 2 PM – your time or mine?” can be an everyday situation with most of your tasks. If staying consistent with time has become a challenge for you, setting an Organization-wide timezone can ensure that your entire team operates in your ‘Organization Standard Time’.
Organization timezone triggers workflow runs and due dates at a standard time, across your organization, irrespective of the timezone relative to individual users.
Users: To manage your organization, you must be an Administrator.
To set your Organization timezone, go to your organization settings and navigate to the Settings tab. Then select a timezone, as shown below.
Although the Organization timezone determines when a workflow or due date is triggered, a user will see all dates and timestamps in the timezone they have set for their profile.
In any situation where a due date or notification is triggered based on the user’s timezone, as it is relevant to that individual user.
In the same Settings tab, a Date format section lets Admins control how dates appear across the product.
Two options are available:
With the toggle off (the default), dates outside the current year automatically include the year. For example, a task due in 2028 shows “Apr 30, 2028” rather than “Apr 30.”
The year rule and the Always show the year toggle affect due dates in workflow runs, task lists, the Reports grid, comments, approval tasks, My Work, emails, and Slack/Teams messages.
Note: The year shown is based on the viewer’s timezone, so a date just after midnight on New Year’s Day appears as the new year for viewers in that zone.
