*New Google Calendar Time Zone Options

Google Calendar Options

Two new options are available for the Google Calendar link. By default Google displays the event in UTC format in the appointment/meeting pop up that displays when the registrant uses the Update your Google Calendar link from their notification.  New options have been added that may be helpful for people that don’t understand what UTC represents.

At Event Setup>Notifications, you’ll now find the choices shown below at the bottom of the page.  Instead of UTC, you can configure the event time to initially display in either the time zone assigned to the event (Event Setup>Advanced) or the time zone that the registrant selected on the Learning Stream Calendar page.  For the latter of these options to work, the calendar that was used for registration must have these settings assigned:

Calendar settings required for 3^rd option to work (Interface>Calendars and Listings):

• "Include option for registrant to select their time zone"
• "Prompt registrant to select their time zone when calendar opens"
