Viewing your calendar when outside your normal timezone

What happens when I go to another country and view my calendar

The Harley Therapy platform will update to show times in the timezone that the device you are using is set to.

This means if you visit another country and your phone or laptop updates to the local time zone, this is the time that you will see in your calendar and on all appointments.

However, the first time you visit your calendar in this new location you will be presented with the following dialog:

What this means is that although you are viewing the calendar in your local time zone, your working hours are still tied to your usual time zone. If the relationship between the two timezones changes during the year this means that your working times may vary on a week-to-week basis in this new timezone.


Please note that generally, you should not select Move my working times unless you are actually moving to this timezone permanently.


If you are planning on staying permanently in this time zone you can select the option to Move your working times which will convert the times from the existing timezone to the new one based on the current difference between the time zones.

In the previous example above, a working time from 13:00 to 17:00 in the UK would move to a working time from 08:00 to 12:00 in New York (or 09:00 to 13:00 at some times of the year depending on daylight savings).

Anchoring working times to a timezone is required to manage changes in daylight savings time that occur at varying times around the world.


If you are just in the new location temporarily (eg. you are on holiday), you can click the Ignore button, but if you then wish to edit your working hours they will be shown in your anchor timezone with a warning, e.g. if your timezone was set to New York and you were viewing in the UK the times you would still edit them in the New York timezone.

When viewing your working times in another timezone your working times may vary from week to week if the timezone you are located in does not have daylight savings time changes aligned to your normal time zone.
