If you've ever checked "yesterday's" pickup numbers late in the evening and noticed the totals looked unexpectedly low, or shared a dashboard with a colleague and found you were both seeing slightly different figures, timezone was likely the reason. You can now set the timezone directly on any Insights dashboard, so every date filter reflects exactly the calendar day you intend.
Why This Matters
Date filters like "Yesterday", "This Month", and "Last 7 Days" don't use a fixed calendar date. They calculate dynamically based on what "today" is. Until now, "today" was anchored to your own local timezone. For most situations this works fine, but it means that near day boundaries, or when managing properties in a different timezone from where you work, those filters can quietly resolve to a different day than you intended.
With the timezone picker, you can anchor any dashboard to the timezone that makes sense for your properties, your team, or whoever you're sharing it with.
What's New
- A timezone picker is now available on every Insights dashboard
- Date filters like Yesterday, MTD, and Last 7 Days update immediately to reflect your chosen timezone
- Your selected timezone is encoded in the URL: share a link and the recipient sees the same timezone automatically, with no extra steps required
How to Get Started
- Open any dashboard in Insights
- Use the timezone picker to select a timezone
- Date filters update immediately
Note:
Timezone control for scheduled deliveries and downloads is coming soon, so your exported reports will reflect the same timezone you've set here.For more on how timezones work with date filters in Insights, see our help desk article.
