Manage Your Default Timezone

Set up a default time zone for your organization. When you create new opportunities, the opportunities default to the organization’s time zone. 

If you don’t set up a default time zone, new opportunities default to the current time zone of your IP address or device. 

Note: You can change an individual opportunity’s time zone even if your organization has a default time zone. For example, you might change it if the opportunity happens in a time zone that differs from the organization’s default. Or, you might change an opportunity’s time zone seasonally if your region doesn’t observe Daylight Savings Time (DST). Shift times remain the same after you change the timezone.
