# Configure the timezone in a report

Configure report time zones and time formats in Cortex XSOAR 8.10 On-prem.

By default, Cortex XSOAR uses the UTC timezone in all reports. You can set a different timezone in the report.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

For most out-of-the-box reports, timezone and time formats in a widget cannot be changed unless you copy the report. Some out-of-the-box reports, such as **Open Incidents**, include a title widget which shows the date the report is generated according to the system default timezone.
{% endhint %}

**Configure the timezone for a specific report**

You may want to configure the timezone for a specific report to align event timestamps with the local time zone of the team reviewing the report. This provides context for event timelines and facilitates better analysis and decision making.

For example, if your SOC team is based in New York but you need to generate a report for another team in London, configure the time zone to GMT to match the incident timestamps to the local time in London to make it easier for the London team to understand and respond to the events accurately.

1. For a new report, select Dashboards & Reports → Reports → **New Report**.

   To edit an existing report, in the **Reports** page, locate the report you want to edit and click the **Edit** button.
2. From the **Time Zone** dropdown list, select the timezone a specific report will display.
3. Click **Save** or **Save Version**.

   Save Version enables you to view a history of the changes made to your report. You can revert to previous versions of the report.

**Configure the timezone for all reports**

We recommend keeping the default (UTC) timezone for all reports and configuring the timezone for specific reports only. However, you can change the timezone displayed in all reports by adding a server configuration.

1. Go to Settings & Info → Settings → System → Server Settings → Server Configuration → **Add Server Configuration**.
2. Add the following key and value:

   | Key                     | Value                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
   | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | **`reports.time.zone`** | <p>The timezone for your report widgets. For example:</p><ul><li>Australia/Melbourne</li><li>Canada/Pacific</li><li>America/Los\_Angeles</li><li>America/New\_York</li><li>Asia/Jerusalem</li><li>Asia/Kolkata</li><li>CET</li><li>EST</li><li>GMT</li><li>Europe/Berlin</li><li>Europe/Brussels</li><li>UTC (Default)</li></ul> |
3. Save the configuration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.10/configure-cortex-xsoar/dashboards-and-reports/reports/configure-the-timezone-in-a-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
