I think the documentation is pretty clear about this.

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.2/process-model-object.html#general-tab

Specify the time zone context that is used for each process instance and indicated by the pp!timezone process property. By selecting the Override with Initiator's Time Zone checkbox, the default process time zone will run the process using the time zone preference of the user who launches the process model.

Hi Stefan
A small question regarding time zone: Suppose below is the configuration:
1. In Admin timezone is A
2. Process model timezone is B ( check box is checked)
3. And the above model is started by run by initiator
4. Initiator time zone is C

Then what timezone date and time would be in process model.PV

Hi Stefan,

I am not calling "loggedinuser()".

I just want to run PM at GMT time zone 4.55am each day.

So uncheck "Override with Initiator's Time Zone" and publish the PM will cause the PM to run at 4.55am GMT each day right?

Regards

Be aware that calling loggedinuser() inside a process returns the primary admin user. When someone changes the timezone for that user you might have a new problem.

Uncheck "Override ..." and define the process timezone according to your needs.

Hi Harshit,

Thanks, I am not using loggedInUser().

I want to run PM at GMT time zone 4.55am and not the PM publish time zone, what shall I do for that ?

Shall I uncheck this "Override with Initiator's Time Zone" in PM properties?

Regard's

Appian always stores time in DB in GMT 00 and when it is queried, it is auto casted in the user's own timezone.
Your process might be running the timezone where process model was published.

Also, by any chance, do you think you are using loggedInUser() in the query in process model?
