You might sometimes see a date field that is off by a day. This is typically due to misconfiguration of the timezone settings.

There are three timezone settings you need to be aware of:

1. Database timezone

2. Tomcat machine’s timezone

3. User profile timezone

Database and Tomcat Timezone

Your IT administrator configures these timezones, and both should be set to the same value. For example, EST, PST, GMT, etc.

User’s Timezone Setting

Typically, the users are in the same timezone as the database. If not, the user can configure their timezone on their profile page.
