Backward Compatibility

Previously, a Labs flag controlled how appointments were displayed:

  • If the flag was ON, appointments displayed in User Timezone

  • If the flag was OFF, appointments displayed in Business Timezone

This Labs flag has been removed and replaced with the View Appointments In setting.

For backward compatibility:

  • If the flag was previously ON, your setting is now set to User Timezone.

  • If the flag was previously OFF, your setting is now set to your Business Timezone.

You may change this preference at any time.
