Graphical Assignment Timezones should be based on the user and not the system

The current implementation of Graphical Assignment presents a major usability challenge for organisations operating across multiple time zones. Because the application renders shift calendars according to a single global timezone setting rather than the user’s own default timezone, shift patterns often appear misaligned with the realities of local operations. This creates confusion, reduces scheduling accuracy, and forces users to rely on inefficient workarounds—such as duplicating work lists—to correct what should be an automatic behaviour. While the product’s design centralises all graphical views around one reference timezone, this approach does not reflect how modern, distributed workforces function, where individual users expect system interfaces to respect their personal timezone settings just as other Maximo applications already do. Relying on a global timezone model introduces unnecessary friction, undermines data clarity across regions, and increases the risk of operational errors that could be avoided entirely if shift information were displayed based on each user’s configured timezone. Enhancing Scheduler to honour user-level timezone preferences would bring the application in line with contemporary usability expectations and remove the need for compensating manual processes
