Permissions

You don't need a ServiceTitan permission to fix this. Many company PCs lock the time zone. If you can't change these settings, contact your information technology (IT) administrator.

What you're seeing

  • Times in ServiceTitan show one hour off on your screen. The times saved in ServiceTitan are correct.

  • ServiceTitan shows a warning in the header that your browser can't read your PC's time zone.

  • This can affect PCs in British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Manitoba. These provinces stop changing their clocks on November 1, 2026.

Why this happens

There are two reasons.

Reason 1

Your Windows time zone doesn't know about the change.

On November 1, 2026, British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Manitoba stop changing their clocks. Each province stays on its summer time all year. If your PC's time zone doesn't know this, ServiceTitan can show times an hour off.

Reason 2

Your PC uses one of Microsoft's new Canadian time zones.

Microsoft added the Windows time zones Pacific Time (British Columbia), Mountain Time (Alberta), and Manitoba. Browsers don't recognize these zones yet. The browser can't tell which time zone your PC uses, and ServiceTitan times show an hour off. This also causes the warning in the header.

Note: Use the zones in Check 1 until browsers support the new Microsoft zones.

How to fix it

Follow the check for your computer. Then confirm the fix and correct earlier bookings.

1Set your Windows time zone

Use this if you use a Windows PC. Pick the time zone that matches your province's clock all year. The city name in the setting doesn't matter.
