Timezone & Date Format
Configure how dates and times are displayed throughout the SecureLink interface. Your preferences apply to dashboards, charts, log timestamps, tables, and all other time-related data.
Accessing Preferences
Navigate to Settings > Account > Preferences.
Timezone
Select your timezone from the dropdown. All timestamps displayed in the UI will be converted to your selected timezone.
For example, if an edge device reports a log entry at 2026-02-12T08:30:00Z (UTC) and your timezone is set to Australia/Sydney (UTC+11), the entry will appear as 2026-02-12 19:30:00.
Setting your timezone ensures that log timestamps and chart tooltips display in your local time, making it easier to correlate events with your workday.
Date Format
Choose your preferred date format:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
DD/MM/YYYY | 12/02/2026 |
MM/DD/YYYY | 02/12/2026 |
YYYY-MM-DD | 2026-02-12 (ISO 8601) |
Time Format
Choose between two time formats:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
| 12-hour | 2:30 PM |
| 24-hour | 14:30 |
Priority Cascade
Your display preferences follow a priority cascade. The first available setting is used:
- Your personal preference -- The timezone, date format, and time format you configure on this page.
- System-wide default -- A default set by your administrator that applies to all users who have not set a personal preference.
- UTC -- If neither a personal preference nor a system default is configured, all times display in UTC.
This means your personal settings always take priority. If you clear your preferences, the system default (or UTC) will be used instead.
Scope of Changes
Changes take effect immediately across the entire SecureLink interface, including:
- Dashboard charts and tooltips
- Log viewer timestamps
- Device status tables (last seen, last sync)
- Alert and event timestamps
- Configuration history entries
