Use in web parts

As you may have already noticed, all web parts have the Time zones section in their web part properties, where the applied time zone can be set. The section contains the following two properties:

 

TimeZone type

Inherit - inherits the time zone setting from the Page placeholder in which it is displayed (typically the one on the master page)

Server - server time zone settings will be used by the web part

WebSite - web site time zone settings will be used by the web part

User - user's time zone settings will be used by the web part

Custom - some other time zone will be used based on the selection done by the Custom time zone property

Custom time zone

If you select some of the time zones, the selected time zone will be used by the web part, regardless of the user's or web site time zone settings.

 

In case of the Calendar and Event calendar web parts, these web part properties take no effect. Instead, displaying of the correct time zone needs to be ensured in the used transformation, as described here.
