How to set it
- Open Settings.
- In the Account Preferences card, open the Timezone dropdown.
- Pick from the US timezone list:
- Pacific (US/Pacific)
- Mountain (US/Mountain)
- Central (US/Central)
- Eastern (US/Eastern)
- Alaska (US/Alaska)
- Hawaii (US/Hawaii)
- PX shows a “Timezone updated successfully” toast.
What the timezone affects
| Surface | Affected |
|---|---|
| Property detail - reservation arrival/departure dates | Yes |
| Audit results - arrival/departure | Yes |
| Findings - detected/fixed timestamps | Yes |
| Home dashboard - trend chart | Yes |
| Issue detected/fixed dates | Yes |
What it does not affect
| Surface | Reason |
|---|---|
| Stored timestamps in the database | Always UTC. Timezone is display-only. |
| The PMS itself | PX is read-only against your PMS. |
| Business model activation date | Stored as a date, not a timestamp - timezone-agnostic. |
| Audit date range pickers | The pickers select calendar dates regardless of timezone. |
| Audit PDF exports | Exports use the user’s display timezone at the time of export. |
Why only US timezones?
The current dropdown is constrained to US timezones because PX’s customer base is US-centric. Reach out to support@pxaccounting.com if you need a non-US timezone.Edge cases
- Daylight saving time - PX handles DST automatically. The timezone you pick is the IANA zone (US/Pacific, etc.), not a fixed offset.
- Properties in a different timezone from your account - timezones are account-level today, not per-property. Bookings still display in your account timezone, even when the property is elsewhere. PMS-reported check-in/check-out times are unaffected.
- Multi-user accounts - the timezone setting is per-account, not per-user. If multiple people work in your account from different cities, they all see the same display timezone.
