Choose the timezone that defines the business deadline, then review the displayed next run time. The schedule’s meaning should be understandable without guessing from your current travel location.

Before you begin

Schedules are executed by the desktop app on your computer. The marketplace server does not take over when your laptop sleeps. Test the underlying task manually before scheduling it, and inspect the next run time in the selected timezone after saving or editing the schedule.

Steps

  1. Identify the intended local business time.
  2. Select the matching timezone in the editor.
  3. Save.
  4. Compare the next run with the intended date and hour.

Example

A team update intended for a Taipei morning should use that timezone even if the laptop owner is traveling elsewhere.

Check the result

Review the next run after editing timing and around timezone or daylight-saving changes relevant to the selected zone.

Limits and troubleshooting

Do not infer future execution solely from the computer clock. The configured schedule and whether the app is awake both matter.
