Timezone missing from 'about this report' section


Jeremy Hughes (2164837) | asked Dec 09 '08, 9:48 a.m.
Hi, in the 'about this report' section of a report (e.g. Burndown),
there are these lines (for example):

Report Generated Dec 9, 2008 9:39:40 AM
Last Data Snapshot: Dec 9, 2008 12:35:01 AM

But no timezone. I think the 'last data snapshot' line should indicate
the time and timezone of when the data snapshot took place from the
server's perspective. e.g. if in the UK, then Dec 9, 2008 12:35:01 AM
GMT. And if possible the report generated timezone should be the
timezone local to the browser.

I'm happy to open an enhancement if necessary.

Thanks,
Jeremy

You're right Jeremy. (It is indeed the server's timezone but that's not
clear). If you open a an enhancement request, we'll take a look, it
should be a simple modification.
