Summary:
Viva Amplify introduces a UTC toggle feature to align time zones for campaign members, aiding in consistent data understanding. It will roll out from late August to late September 2024. The toggle affects all timeline graphs in reports and indicates when UTC is used. Preparation includes user notification and training material updates. Roadmap ID: 407862.
Details:
Often the time zone where a publication is sent from and those of the target audience don't match. And in many cases different audiences each reside in different time zones, making the data a bit complicated for campaign members to digest.
The ability to toggle between the user's local time and a standardized time zone, UTC, helps the user ensure they are comparing and understanding things in the same way as their colleagues.

User Confusion Due to Time Zone Misalignment
Without proper preparation, users may be confused by the UTC toggle, leading to misinterpretation of campaign data and performance metrics, as they may not be aware that the reports are now displayed in UTC instead of their local time.
