Time Input

Default Time Zone

Set this dropdown to the time zone that you want all events to be relative to. The default time zone gets used in a couple of ways. When one-time events are exported as iCal entries, the times for the event are converted to GMT. The source time zone is necessary for this conversion.

The sync program also uses the time zone. All recurring iCal entries that are exported are written in this time zone. Finally, the scheduled time for Notifications and Reminder processing is in this time zone.

Enable Time Zone Support

If this option is set to Yes, then individual Users will be able to specify their time zone and you can specify the time zone for events that you create. Connect Daily will automatically handle converting Events from the Event time zone to the User's time zone.

Time Format

Toggle between AM/PM time format and 24 hour or military time format.

Time Input Element Type

You can specify whether Users should be able to type times in (Text Box), or if the time selections should be done using a dropdown.

Time Format RegEx & Time Format Picture

By default, Connect Daily allows you to input times in almost any format. It will accept things like "8:00", "8:00 a", "8:00 a.m.", "8:00 AM", etc. This can lead to inconsistency in display if you have many people updating the calendar. You can use Regular expressions to validate that times are entered in a specific format. If you don't want time validation, leave these two fields blank.

To use validation, copy the desired Time Format Regex into Connect Daily, along with the desired Time Format Picture.

Time Dropdown Interval

If you have set the Time Input Element Type to dropdown, this controls the interval in minutes. If all Events have to start on the hour or half-hour, then you could set this to 30 minutes.
