UTC
All dates and times are stored at the server in UTC (GMT) values. The server has no knowledge of time zones so this value is used to display the time and date in your local Browser time zone. While you can ovveride this setting it's generally best to allow it to be the default setting obtained from the browser itself.
Filtering dates
When viewing data in AyaNova that is filtered with one of the relative date filters (for example a filter of "TODAY"), this time zone setting is taken into account in order to ensure that the user sees data appropriate to their time zone. This means that two people with browsers in different time zones using a filter of TODAY for a date field may see different list of results from each other.

todo: DATA TABLES (NOTE: stick to "Data table" terminology, previously was mixed use as "grid", not a grid anywhere, "Data table") Need help page specific to DataTable usage, link to it from the top of all manual pages that are for DataList UI pages (e.g. Customers page) Note: arbitrary 1024 max char text field length, truncates after that. Note: Special note to indicate that filtering by a column then hiding that column is supported as a feature User won't see the filtered column if they hid it but the filter still applies User can tell it's still filtered by the prescence of the filter reset button (circle with X inside) to the right of the filter selection list note: filtering system, column view system, saving filter, case sensitivity, tokens etc hidden query-affecting columns: Data Table column selector button will change to larger and accented when this is the case and the column selector form will highlight these hidden columns that affect the view with raised elevation, accent color and filter+sort icon (both show, there is no distinction which type of way it's affecting)
Data table filtering on Duration / interval type columns:
Filters are limited to greater than or less than due to nature of this type of data which is very hard to match precisely due to millisecond differences
making equals or not equals useless for exact comparison. In addition these types of fields always have a value even if it's zero so they don't work with Has value / no Value either
Greater than and less than can be used to match any value desired by using two filters one greater one less and use of the OR or AND option as appropriate
