Why Zendesk Doesn't List All Time Zones

Understand why Zendesk's time zone list is limited and how to find alternatives.

Why does Zendesk not list all global time zones?

Zendesk's localization settings include only a subset of global time zones, which may not cover every city or region.

This limitation means you might need to find a comparable city with the same GMT offset and similar daylight-saving practices. For example, if you're in Manila, you can use the time zone for cities like Beijing or Hong Kong, which share the same GMT+08:00 offset and do not observe daylight-saving time.
