Your chosen date and time preferences will also be used for the date format in emails sent within the application by your 25Live contact.
2. Set Your Availability View Display Hours
Animation: The sliders are used to choose default open and close hours for availability views.
You can choose default open and close hours for availability views (such as in Location details and Resource details views) using the sliders. For example, settings of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm specify that grids will show activity from 9:00 AM through 4:59 PM.
3. Adjust Your Time Zone
These Settings Are Only For Your User
