Time zones in the Gantt view

Time zones display in the Gantt view differently for work and preventive maintenance (PM) forecasts.

Time zones for work records

Work records are shown in the local time zone of the user. When you create a schedule, select the calendar and shift information for where the work will be performed (which might differ from the database date and time). The craft requirements for those work orders also are shown in the local time zone of the user. Craft availability is shown based on the calendar and the shift specified in the schedule. For example, if the shift is from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the availability is shown for that duration.

Your Maximo® database is set to Eastern Standard Time (EST). A work order is scheduled to start today at noon (12:00 PM), EST. If the locale settings of the user are in Pacific Standard Time (3 hours earlier than EST), the Gantt view shows the work starting at 9:00 AM. However, the work order start time at the database level (on EST) is still noon. Therefore, select the shift information based on the locale of the user, not the database.

Time zones for PM forecasts

PM Segments are shown with a start time of 12:00 AM, regardless of the time zone of the user. If the user moves a segment to another time, the segment returns to 12:00 AM when the schedule is saved. If the segment was moved to a different date, the new date saves with 12:00 AM as the start time.
