Time Zones in Zendesk WFM Locations
What is the role of time zones in Zendesk WFM locations?
In Zendesk WFM, the time zone of a location determines where time off and shifts are scheduled, and whether daylight savings time (DST) applies. The time zone set in the Location affects how agents see their shifts, which is controlled through their time zone selector in the Agent Schedule app. This means shifts may move when DST takes effect, depending on the agent's selected time zone.
