Hey used now() function to get the current time and date&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and you want that  whatever the timezone of user your application should save date and time according to some EST format, so set the Time Zone of appian environment according to your requirement &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OR &lt;br /&gt;
Used following function &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; gmt(now(),&amp;quot;America/New_York&amp;quot;)  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In above function just used &amp;quot;now()&amp;quot; function as current date and time and pass second parameter as timezone then you will get the current time and date according to required timezone &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To study gmt() function visit following link&lt;br /&gt;
