Update timezones

Template:Moodle 1.7Location: Administration > Location > Update timezones

The update timezones page provides administrators with the option to update their local database with new information about world timezones. This is important because of daylight saving changes that many countries use.

If the update is completed with success, Moodle will inform you how many entries were updated and which location was used as a source.
