Summer Time Configuration
Use the Summer
Time Configuration page to configure settings for summer time, which is also
known as daylight saving time. Used in some countries around the world, summer time is the
practice of temporarily advancing clocks during the summer months. Typically clocks are
adjusted forward one or more hours near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in
autumn.
