Daylight Saving Time
Daylight saving time (DST), also know as summer time, is the practice of advancing clocks so that
evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one
hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. Many countries observe DST,
and many do not. If the time zone you selected for aW-IAP supports DST, you can enable
daylight saving time feature on this W-IAP to ensure the W-IAP reflects the seasonal time
changes.
