Display Time Zone
Sets the time zone for displaying timestamps in notebooks. This setting does not alter the original data but converts displayed timestamps to the chosen time zone for easier interpretation.
When set, the generated load SQL begins with SET TIME ZONE '<zone>', so timestamps rendered during that session use the configured zone. The stored data is unchanged.
When to Change This Setting
Set it when the people reading notebook output work in a specific zone and the workspace default renders timestamps in another. Leave it blank (the default) to use the workspace session default.
