Message Summary
We have made some changes to date picker during check-ins.
When this will happen:
Standard Release: We will begin rolling this out in mid-July and will complete rolling out in mid-August.
How this will affect your organization
Date picker changes during check-ins:
Currently users of Viva goals in remote teams while making a check-in from different time zone see different dates of check-ins on the progress graph, progress and status of the OKRs are computed differently.
In order to fix the problem, while making a check-in on an OKR the date that you choose will not have a time component associated with it and will be based on the UTC time zone. A user making a check-in from the PST time zone, or the IST time zone will see the same date from now onwards. These changes will be reflected in the list view in the last updated column and in the check-in note where we show the check-in date.
What you need to do to prepare:
1. The date picker will only show the date based on the UTC time zone and not based on the local time zone
2. This change will not impact any of the existing check-ins made
