Daylight Saving Time Issue

I think there are two time zone bugs in SB+.

  1. Arizona does not participate in Daylight Saving Time. Our time zone in SB+ is set to Phoenix GMT -7. But for the past two years our meeting times shift an hour after the rest of the country does a DST change.

  2. The second bug is when we try to change the time back to the original time we cannot set the new time - we can sometimes get the correct time to show by setting the new time to a whole hour after the intended time.

Example, a recurring event was made at the start of the school year for every 4th Monday at 6:30 PM. After the DST change the event’s time was changed to 5:30PM. The system will not let me change the time back to 6:30PM. I try to then set the time to 7:30PM and that frequently fails too. So the next best thing it so set the time to 7:15 PM. This will actually save the new time and it tricks the UI into showing the start time as 6:15PM. Which is close to what we want (6:30) but not quite correct.

The best workaround I’ve found is that I either need to cancel the event and make a new one just for the time period between DST changes OR I need to set it 45 minutes later and then explain to parents that the meeting actually is at 6:30 and the calendar just says 6:15.

This is probably something that needs to be fixed by the developers but if there is anything on your end that could help I would appreciate it.

Tim is this for pack 524?

Yes, it is for Pack 524.

Thanks I will ask the programmers to look into it.

Tim,

The programmers said we had an issue with timezone and that they fixed it. BUTTT it looks like with your unit moving events around and changing times your events fell through the cracks of the changes. They think you should delete and put in you recurring events again. The system should work now when time changes happen (don’t happen in AZ) and you should be good.

Sorry, not the best answer.
