Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to set a timezone when creating a visualation, within the advanced JSON input section.
The purpose for this is so that when the visualisation is viewed, the same results are displayed no matter where you are based.
Regards,
Gearoid

Currently there is no way to set the timezone on a per-visualization basis. Instead, you can go to **Management \> Advanced Settings \> dateFormat:tz** and select the timezone you want. This will apply to all visualizations.
