Time Zones for Activities

How the Start, Due, and Archive Date time zone for an Activity is set, how to view or change it, and when the time zone can no longer be edited.

Every Activity on your Recollective site will have a Start Date, Due Date and possibly an Archive Date, if you choose to set one.

  • Start Date: The date and time the Activity will become available to participants.

  • Due Date: The desired date and time for participants to complete the Activity

  • Archive Date: The date and time the Activity will no longer be available to participants

The time zone associated with these dates will match the site-level timezone unless a study level time zone has been set in Study Settings: Configuration.

The time zone for your chosen Activity will appear in a separate box under the Start Date, Due Date and Archive Date.

To adjust the time zone, select the underlined portion of the current time zone - this will open the ‘Time Zone’ modal. When the modal appears, you will see a Country drop-down menu and a Time Zone drop-down menu. Once you customize these settings to suit your objective, select Save to verify your change.

Note: If participant responses have been received for the Activity, you will not be able to modify the time zone. Likewise, adjusting the study-level time zone in Site Settings: Configuration will not automatically adjust the time zone for Activities that have already been created. If the Activity was created prior to adjusting the study-level time zone, the Activity time zone will need to be changed manually in order to match.
