Interpret inspection dates across time zones
Learn how to interpret inspection dates across time zones.
Why do inspection dates appear in different time zones?
Inspection dates can appear in different time zones if you have users conducting inspections in other parts of the world. If you have an inspection that you want to view, the date and time will be displayed dependent on your account or device's time zone setting.

Viewing inspection reports
When viewing an inspection report, date and time responses are displayed in your SafetyCulture account's time zone.
For example, if your account's time zone is set to Chicago time or CST (GMT-06) and you're viewing the report of an inspection that was started by someone in Sydney time or AEST (GMT+10), then the inspection that was started on May 3rd, 9 AM in Sydney would show as May 2nd, 6 PM for you in Chicago.
