Adding time zones to a DOLS subscription
When there is a date and time displayed in the subscription, add a time zone field, too. If you do not specify the time zone, you may confuse the offline user because the subscription uses the clock of the local machine (not the clock of the server) when it runs locally. For example, a Chicago user might view an offline document that displays the local time as 10 AM. At the same time, the online version of the same document displays the time as 11 AM. By adding time zones, you can display the times as 10 CST and 11 EST.
