Set the time zone

Time zone settings play a key role in the accurate compilation and generation of LivePerson reports. This article sets out everything you need to know about properly setting your time zone,  as well as which reports are affected by the time zone settings.

Agent manager / operational reports

Campaign manager reports

• Campaign-related data (including campaign and campaign manager BI dashboards) are presented to users according to their LivePerson user level time zone.
• By default, the LivePerson user-level time zone is synced to the associated account’s time zone. Users can change their user-level time zone in order to view campaign-related data in a different time zone.
• When the account time zone is modified, all time zones of users who have never changed their user level setting are synced to the new account-wide time zone.

Campaign time zone

When a user creates a new campaign, the campaign’s default time zone is set to the primary user level time zone but can be easily modified in order to control when the campaign runs. However, modifying the campaign time zone does not impact the data presented in the reports.
