The Master timezone list includes officially used timezones that are available for activation in the CATI Supervisor module, that is, they are not directly used with any other CATI object. The supervisor can select a timezone from this list and make it “active”. Active timezones can be used as object properties. For example, an active timezone can be specified as the respondent timezone (go to Configuring the Active Timezone List for more information).
For information on the bias offset for a timezone and for a complete reference list of timezones see Appendix E (go to Appendix E - Time Zone List for more information).
When working with the Master timezone objects you can perform the following operations:
- View the Master timezone list.
- Make a master timezone active.
- Refresh the Master timezone list.
