First view your ProfileGo to sys_user table or your profile via the menu when you click on your avatar.  Right-click on Time zone field and choose Configure Dictionary. Under the Choices Related List, search for IST and change the Inactive field to 'false'.  Now you will be able to select the Time zone on your Profile.  To change the system time, go to Basic Configuration in the left nav, select the new time zone, then Update the record.

Hi @PrudhviDeeK 

  • Go to the sys_user table by typing sys_user.list in the navigation filter.

  • Search for the System Administrator user.

  • Right-click on the Time zone field → choose Configure Dictionary.

  • If you find it inactive, set Inactive = false.
  • Go back to the System Administrator record and you should now be able to select IST in the Time zone field.

  • If you want to set the entire instance to Indian time, search for Basic Configuration in the navigation bar, open it, choose IST in the time zone list, and save.

You can test the current system time using this background script:

gs.info(gs.nowDateTime());
