Time zone on the user preference section

pavan patil · ‎01-14-2026

Hello Community,

I am working with the Employee Center portal and would like to remove the Time Zone field from the User Preferences section.

Could someone please guide me on:

Which widget is responsible for rendering the User Preferences section in Employee Center?
Whether this widget needs to be cloned to hide/remove the Time Zone field?
Any recommended or best-practice approach to achieve this customization?

Any guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

@pavan patil There is a simple way with CSS to hide this without changing the widget code.

1. Go to "sp_page" table and search page with id = hri_user_profile

2. In the css box, add the below code and reload.

#time_zone_picker_select{
  display:none;
}
label[for="time_zone_picker_select"] {
  display: none;
}

This will save you for customising the widget.

nope.

You update the OOTB page only.

But remember since you are updating OOTB page it will be skipped during upgrade.
