Use cases
A timezone reference record with UTC offset, abbreviation, and daylight savings flag for time coordination.
TIMEZONE is a reference data entity for managing timezone information across the platform. It uses the simple grid view. The name field stores the full timezone identifier (e.g., 'Eastern Standard Time'), abreviation stores the short form (e.g., 'EST' - note the field name has a spelling variation from 'abbreviation'). The utcOffset is a numeric field storing the hours offset from UTC (e.g., -5 for EST, +1 for CET), with sort enabled to allow ordering timezones by offset. The dst checkbox indicates whether the timezone observes daylight saving time, which is important for scheduling across time boundaries. The comments textarea allows notes about timezone edge cases or regional variations. Timezone records support distributed team coordination, meeting scheduling, and deadline management where participants span multiple time zones. At level 250, it sits alongside other reference data in the admin area.
