How timezones are displayed for alerts and subscriptions with recurring schedules

In Qlik Cloud activity centers, the time or timezone displayed will usually match the timezone you have set in Profile settings. One exception is the recurring interval schedule for alerts and subscriptions.

• The dark grey tooltip shows how often the subscription is sent: Every week, Monday and Wednesday, at 2:15 PM.

• The next scheduled run-time is March 13, 2023, 3:30 PM.

• The dark grey tooltip shows the subscription schedule, but in the Canadian timezone: Created in (GMT -4:00) America/Toronto: Every week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:30 AM.
