# Dates and times

> Which time zone the dashboard shows

Soap stores every time in UTC. The dashboard shows times like this:

| Where | Time zone shown |
| - | - |
| Charges, Customers, Checkouts and Payment Reviews, and charge details | The time zone picked in **Operator Settings** → **Time Zone** in this browser. Until one is picked, your computer's time zone |
| Overview periods, such as Yesterday or 7D | US Eastern time (New York) |
| Charges CSV export (admins only) | UTC, in ISO 8601 format, for example `2026-10-28T20:11:59Z` |

## Change the time zone

1. Open **Operator Settings**. You need the Operator Settings permission; admins have it.
2. Under **Time Zone**, pick **UTC** or another time zone. Pick **Device time** to go back to your computer's time zone.

The choice is saved in this browser only. Other people, and you in another browser, keep their own setting.
