# Date & Time

Date & Time Management Principles

* **Operating System Time**: The server OS time is set to UTC.
* **Scheduler Reference**: Nodeum's scheduler uses UTC for time references. Automatic conversions to local time are managed by the application.
* **Web Console Time**: Nodeum Web Console operates using the browser's local time.

This page helps in managing and verifying that the system's Date & Time settings are correctly configured.

## Configuration

Date & Time management follow these principles rules:

| Time                   |                                                                                            UTC                                                                                           |                                                                                    Local Browser Time                                                                                    |
