In WorkflowGen, datetime data iare stored with the GMT timezone in the WorkflowGen database. By default datetime data are converted to the user’s timezone and displayed with the user’s culture in the web form and the User Portal.

If you want to display the datetime data in GMT, follow the procedure below (available since version 5.5.1).

#### 1. In the Form Designer

For the corresponding fields containing the dates, add the `TimeZoneConversion` custom attribute with the value `false`.

#### 2. In the Administration Module

For each corresponding process data, you have to change the data settings on the **Data** tab in the process information screen.

- For the **Time zone** setting, select **GMT**.

- For the **Format** setting, select **Custom (user-defined)** and type enter the format pattern you want (such as `dd/mm/yyyy`).
