I came accross a query posted in the Sage community regarding the date time in current users screen. It was about the screen opened time in the current users screen in Sage 300, is it based on Users PC or Server time, as there may be scenario that the different users are located in different time zone.

Below is my findings.

In summary , i would say it's based on the time zone in the server time which hosted Shared Data folder.

To understand how the date time in screen opened works, you may based on this 3 things.

1. Current Users Screen

2.userMgtLogs Folder which is under the Company folder within Shared Data, with each screen opened, there should be a .txt file created.

3.The created date time of those .txt file within the userMgtFolder.

Based on info above, you can open up those txt file, and you will be able to find out the .txt file have some information that is readable.

For example, i open up 1 of the .txt file with notepad. You may see info like IC73A SAMLTD ADMIN , which represent Program ID(IC73A- inventory control version 7.3, SAMLTD - Database ID, ADMIN- User ID)

I can't decode the other values to find out what exact screen is that, but i am only able to find out that the .txt file i opened is regarding ADMIN accessed to IC module in SAMLTD company. If you look at the created time of the .txt file, then you will find out that the screen opened date time is the same as Created Date time of the .txt file.

That is all from my sharing. If anyone have any related info, feels free to share in the comment.
