Time in UTC? I want to show date in local time in ODK Aggregate

Development
1

I am capturing date/time from odk collect, ODK collect time zone is IST.

But in aggregate I am seeing time converted into UTC, I want to show in IST.

Please suggest,

Regards

Currently, you can't. See
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=554 for the
issue. I'm sure the core team would appreciate a patch.

Dear all,

I have some problem with the local time on ODK. We are in Milan and now the local time is 16:00 while the UTC time is 14:00 (we have legal time). But when we collect time data with ODK, if the local time is 16:00, in the collecte data I found 15:00.
How can we solve this problem?

Thanks

Laura

By writing code and contributing it back.

Hi Laura,

ODK Collect writes the time with device time zone in the XML it saves.
For example, if you are in Seattle, time will be
"2016-02-15T01:10:40.219-08". If you are in Cape Town, time will be
"2016-02-15T11:10:40.219+02".

Once the data gets to Aggregate, it is converted to UTC:
"2016-02-15T09:10:40.219Z". Anything after that (web UI, download to
Briefcase, export to CSV) is done in UTC.

If you are seeing different behavior, there is a bug. If you just
don't like this behavior, the solution is to contribute code back to
project that does what you'd like.

Yaw means that code contributions (patches) to fix this would be
appreciated by the core team.

If it is of critical importance, hire someone to develop and contribute the
change back to the main tree.

And note that ODK Aggregate 1.4.8 contains an updated javarosa form
processor with two significant bug fixes in the date/time area. These bugs
could cause dates to be off by +/- 1 day and times to be off on days when
your timezone changes to or from daylight savings time.

The updated jar will be in the next release of the other ODK 1.x tools.

Would this be at Collect level or Aggregate?

Collect already stores dates with time zone information. You have to
make the change in Aggregate.
