Quick Answer
How do you change the Dashboard timezone?
Open any Dashboard, click the 3-dot menu, select Manage Dashboard Timezone, choose your preferred timezone, and click Save. The selected timezone then applies globally to Dashboards viewed under your user profile.
Making Sure Dashboard Data Matches Your Actual Workday
You may be reviewing Dashboard metrics correctly, but if the timezone does not match the way you work or report, daily totals and trends can appear shifted.
The Timezone Switcher lets you align Dashboard reporting with a preferred timezone so time-based metrics reflect the reporting boundaries you expect.
This is especially useful when users, clients, subaccounts, or teams operate across different regions.
Without a consistent timezone, comparisons between days, weeks, or reporting periods can become harder to interpret.
Check the timezone when data looks a day off
The original guide recommends checking the Dashboard timezone first when reporting appears shifted by a day or does not line up with the expected workday.
Dashboard Timezone Behavior at a Glance
Before You Begin
Choose a timezone that matches how you want to interpret and compare your Dashboard reporting.
- Decide whether reporting should follow your local timezone, a client timezone, or another standard reporting timezone.
- Use the same timezone consistently when comparing reporting periods.
- Remember that the selected timezone applies across Dashboards viewed under your user profile.
- Know that third-party widgets do not change with the Dashboard timezone setting.
- Remember that the Tasks widget is currently excluded according to the source page.
- Recheck daily or weekly metrics after changing the timezone to make sure they now match the reporting period you expect.
How to Use the Timezone Switcher
Change the timezone from any Dashboard using the Dashboard menu.
Open a Dashboard
Open any shared or personal Dashboard.
Open the 3-Dot Menu
Click the 3-dot menu in the top-right area of the Dashboard.
Manage Dashboard Timezone
Select Manage Dashboard Timezone.
Choose the Timezone
Select the timezone you want to use for Dashboard reporting.
Save the Setting
Click Save to apply the selected timezone.
Use one reporting standard consistently
If you manage several client subaccounts, the original guide recommends choosing the timezone you use for reporting and sticking with it so month-over-month comparisons remain consistent.
Where the Timezone Setting Applies
User-Level Setting
Each user can use their own Dashboard timezone for the Dashboards they view.
Global Across That User’s Dashboards
The selected timezone applies globally to Dashboards viewed under that user profile rather than only to the Dashboard where the setting was changed.
Internal BizStackPro Metrics
Internal Dashboard data is adjusted according to the selected timezone where supported.
Third-Party Widgets
Third-party widget data is not changed by the BizStackPro Dashboard timezone setting.
Shared Dashboard does not mean shared timezone
Because the setting applies to the user’s view, people in different regions can review the same shared Dashboard using different timezone perspectives.
