About Group-specific Time Zones

As companies grow their presence domestically and internationally there is a need to show time zones specific to a group’s location on cover pages, fax top lines and email notifications. Administrators can enable group-specific time zones by using the Group > Location setting and Job > System TimeZoneName property. The time zone variables listed below can be used with configurations that include AccuRoute CloudFax and InterFAX.

Note: If you are planning a server upgrade, contact Technical Support for assistance if you want to use group-specific time zones. This feature only works on AccuRoute Server v5.0 and above.

Before you begin

Administrator must complete the following tasks.

  • Plan your groups and time zones appropriately.

  • Create or use current groups.

  • Apply the appropriate time zone location to your groups.

  • Create or update the cover pages, fax top lines, and email notifications with the following Date and Time Zone variables.

    • %:currentDate(,,$)%

    • %:currentTime(,,$)%

Note: The Time Zone variables are case-sensitive and must begin and end with the Percent symbol (%) as shown above.

See the following Help topics for more information.
