We have several (Australian) users that create meetings in different time zones (e.g. NZ).

Depending on HOW they create those meetings, the Notes client behaves very differently...

 

• If they open their calendar and click the 'New' action button to create a meeting, the issue does not appear
• If they simply double-click on a time slot, the following issue appears...

 

A New Zealand meeting is created with a start time (1:00PM) and an end time (2:00PM).

The time zone is then switched from 'Local' to 'GMT+12' (Auckland), and the Local times are then displayed on the right hand side (11:00AM - 12:00PM).

That all works perfectly.

However, when the 'Save & Send invitations' action button is clicked, the meeting times are converted to 3:00PM - 4:00PM (in the NZ time zone) with the local meeting time updated to 1:00PM - 2:00PM.

 

It seems the time zone switcher may be causing the issue, as I performed a subsequent test...

 

A New Zealand meeting is created with a start time (1:00PM) and an end time (2:00PM).

The time zone is then switched from 'Local' to 'GMT+12' (Auckland), and the Local times are then displayed on the right hand side (11:00AM - 12:00PM).

The meeting times are then changed to something else and then RE-SELECTED to make them the original 1:00PM and 2:00PM values

When the 'Save & Send invitations' action button is clicked, the meeting times remain exactly as they should be.

 

Is this the expected behaviour?

Must users select the start/end times AFTER selecting the time zone to ensure the facility works properly?

 

Thanks so much for any/all feedback!
