GreenArrow’s time zone can be configured in the following locations:

GreenArrow Studio

1. Log on to GreenArrow Studio
2. Navigate to the “Admin” tab
3. Click on the “Manage Organizations” sub-tab
4. Edit the “System Organization” (if you’ve renamed this organization, then make sure you’re editing the organization with the ID of 1)
5. Set the “TIME ZONE” config and save the changes

This change will be applied without restarting any services.

GreenArrow Engine

GreenArrow Engine’s web interface gets its time zone from the engine_time_zone configuration directive.

SimpleMH Time Zone

Emails injected using SimpleMH that don’t have a custom Instance ID set will receive a default Instance ID, which consists of the 6-digit date YYMMDD. This ID is set every 24 hours based on the time zone configured in the engine_time_zone configuration directive.

In older versions of GreenArrow, this time zone was configured by editing the $TIME_ZONE_OFFSET value in the SimpleMH Config File. If this configuration value is set, it will still be used – but this is no longer recommended.
