Timezones
Why Timezone Settings Matter
Setting the correct viewing timezone in your domain settings is essential for accurate data analysis. Cabin organizes analytics data by day according to your specified timezone.
You can update your timezone at any time through the domain settings panel.
NOTE
Timezone changes take effect immediately and apply only to newly collected data. Historical data remains organized according to the timezone setting that was active when it was collected.
Daylight Saving Time
If your selected timezone observes daylight saving time, Cabin handles the transitions as follows:
Spring Forward (DST begins): When clocks move forward and an hour is skipped, you'll notice a gap in your hourly data for that missing hour.
Fall Back (DST ends): When clocks move backward and an hour repeats, Cabin aggregates data from both instances of that hour, providing complete coverage of user activity.
These automatic adjustments ensure your analytics remain consistent and reliable throughout seasonal time changes.
