# Set the Time Zone for Both the Application and the Account

Quickbase Billing Account Administrators can set the time zone that will be used for all applications within the account. In addition, because some organizations have locations that span several different time zones, Quickbase also allows Application Managers to override the account time zone and set one specifically for the application.

## Set the time zone for the billing account

1. [Access the Manage Billing Account page](/v1/docs/access-the-account-summary-page).
2. Under your logon, select **Edit Account Properties**. ![Edit Account Properties button in the Manage Billing Account page](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/edit.png)
3. Select the appropriate time zone in the **Timezone** box and select **Apply Changes**. ![Timezone dropdown and Apply Changes button in account properties](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/change.png)

The selected time zone applies to all applications in the Billing Account. Application managers can override this setting by setting an application-specific time zone.

## Set the time zone for an application

1. Open the application, select **Settings**, then select **App properties**.
2. Select **Advanced Settings** to expand the section.
3. In the Date/Time Options section, select the **Use this time zone** checkbox, then select the time zone you want to use from the list.
4. Select **Save**.

The selected time zone applies to the application.

> [!NOTE]
> Note: If the application manager changes the time zone later, Quickbase automatically updates data in the application accordingly.
