I notice that the default timezone lookup has only 'standard' time zones and nothing for daylight saving time zones like 'EDT – Eastern Daylight Time'.
1. Does Creatio by default handle daylight saving? If Yes, How?
2. Any inputs on how we can manually handle daylight savings will help.
Our application supports global users and displaying accurate time/calendar is of importance to us. Could we have a custom timezone lookup and programmatically modify the timezone of specific users so as to reflect daylight savings??
Yes, Creatio moves to daylight saving time automatically. There is no need to perform any specific adjustments. It is enough for a user to have the non-daylight time zone selected, like EDT, and the time will changed to daylight saving when necessary.
As for changing the time zones lookup, it is not possible. It contains standard Windows time zones lookup that also have connection to the web server time.

Also, can this be added to the Creatio documentation? Neither is it indicated anywhere in the documentation nor is it available in the community. Thanks in advance!
Lets say that day light saving kicks in and GMT-4.00 changes to GMT-5.00. It was mentioned in the community link that Creatio handles this automatically.
Does Creatio store GMT-4.00 or GMT-5.00 in the DB? What will be shown to the user inside user profile on the GUI as the time zone offset?
From where can I get the value of GMT-5.00? Will it change in the 'Offset' column in the Time zone table??
