As I look ahead in the calendar I constantly have to make mental adjustments to the times of future flights (this is proving to be a nightmare!!)ģ. Under the current system I have to work out all the adjustments to these times before entering them in my calendar, and then as I travel and adjust my computer time zone only one flight at a time is shown at the 'correct' local time. I receive my itinerary with all flight departures and arrivals shown in local times. I have booked a round-the-world ticket and have a flight itinerary covering 12 different countries (and more time zones). I will have to remember to add / deduct the correct number of hours each time I look ahead at my schedule for all my meetings.Ģ. Under the current system I would have to enter the meeting at 11pm in Australia so that when I get to France and change the computer time zone the meeting will appear at the correct time. I have agreed with my client in France to have a meeting at 3pm. I am in Australia and am going to France on business. I certainly understand that there are examples where a floating time could be useful, but of course there are also examples where a fixed absolute time could be useful, e.g.:ġ.

I forget if Outlook for mac has that - but if it does, that's what we recommend travels use to reduce some of the confusion. In outlook for windows, we have a dual time scale so we can show two time zones on the calendar. Calendar reminders are based on 'before the start' so they will move with the appointment as you change zones. Ie, if I send an email at 12 PM ET and change my computer to pacific time, the sent time will be 9 am.įlag reminders should be relative to the start date or due date. The sent/received times will reflect the current time zone setting on the computer.
That makes it so much easier to get appointments right.Ģ.

Dang, wish I had my mac here to see if it has the time zone selector like windows versions: enter 10 am as the start time, select the paris tz and save. If you are creating appointments for a specific time in a specific time zone (10 AM, Paris), you need to make it for the correct local time (ie, 1 AM Pacific).
All day events will stick to the day in Outlook 2010 (Windows), I'm not sure how all day events work in Mac and my mac is at home so I can't double check. The appointments are based on a time zone and adjust as you adjust the computer time zone. Sorry, that is not how Outlook works (Mac or Windows). If I have reminders to do something at 10 am every day (like check a website), time may not matter, unless I'm following the stock market.ġ. If I have a reminder to take pills at 8AM and 5 pm daily, I might want to stick to my home schedule because meds usually should be taken at the same time every day, or I might want to take them at the same point in my day.
When someone sends me a meeting request for noon their time, I want it on my calendar at the correct local time, not pinned to noon everywhere. I guess whether an absolute time would be useful to travelers depends on the person and the appointment. Outlook does every thing in UTC and displays local time based on the time zone offset chosen in the os.
