Does the processing engine convert metadata dates and times to the Default Time Zone field, considering daylight savings?

The processing engine indeed converts metadata dates and times to the Default Time Zone field while considering daylight savings. This is crucial because metadata can often be in various time formats and time zones, and converting them to a standard time zone ensures consistency and accuracy in data processing.

Considering daylight savings is essential since it affects the local time in many regions. By properly adjusting for the daylight savings changes, the processing engine helps maintain the integrity of the data's temporal context, allowing users to effectively analyze and interpret the information. This automatic handling streamlines the workflow, reducing potential errors when dealing with data from different geographic regions and ensures that all dates and times are relative to the Default Time Zone specified in the processing settings.

This ensures that whatever processing or analysis is carried out on the data takes into account the correct time references, making it a reliable source of truth for all users involved in the data lifecycle.
