Hello All Experts,

I need to export data from one environment and put that data into the another environment.

I heard that we need to use the UTC timezone to export the data , but i am not sure how to do this.

Any help will be appreciable.

RE: How to make user timezone to UTC to export data

Hi,

If you are using User Local to display the data, then the Dataverse is stored date in UTC and displayed according to the user's local time zone.

You can try Time Zone Independent to store date:

This is the relevant description of the date display:
