Description
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
Two to three times a year users overseas are experiencing issues related to Daylight Savings Time which causes them to have to insert dates as one day in advance to correctly show the correct date. This causes issues for inspection due dates, Asset Next Maint Dt, Asset Last Maint Dt, as well as reporting when closing maintenance work orders. A standard time that does not change would alleviate these issues.
 
Recommended:
Create a toggle, or feature flag, at the Maintenance Program level to give OPR(s) the ability to change the system to read Greenwich (Zulu) time. Once selected, the times recorded in ELMS will switch from the current time zones to Zulu time, which is a standard time zone for DoD personnel.
 
Mission Critical:
 
 
Benefits:
With the Time Zone as a single, non-changing time, this will standardize reporting across the Enterprise, or those whom choose to enact it, alleviating the constant recurring bug fix requests that get reported to ELMS Support.

Frequency: 
Daily

Users: 
All overseas users are affected by this.
