Interactive help for Hesk settings

 

Server time offset

If your server time differs from your local time you can set the time difference here. Examples:
server time: 12:30, local time: 13:30, set hours to 1 and minutes to 0
server time: 12:30, local time: 14:45, set hours to 2 and minutes to 15
server time: 12:30, local time: 09:30, set hours to -3 and minutes to 0
server time: 12:30, local time: 11:00, set hours to -1 and minutes to -30

Daylight saving

ON if your country uses daylight saving time. Set to OFF to disable daylight saving time.

Do NOT turn this on if your server already adjusts for daylight saving time!

Time format

This is PHP date syntax for timestamps displayed by Hesk.

Use only one space in the syntax (separating date and time), Hesk will use the space to break date and time into two lines!

For full syntax to use see PHP date manual. Few examples you can use:
