Who can use this feature?
đ€ Organization Owners, Admins, Group Admins, and custom roles with the "Configure System Settings" permission can configure this setting directly on a group or ungrouped device, and can assign an existing System preset. Creating or editing a System preset is an organization-level action: Organization Owners and Admins can do this by default, and custom organization roles can be granted Create and Edit permissions for System presets under Settings â Roles â Configuration Presets.

Overview
The device time zone is configured with the Date & Time setting in the System settings of a group or ungrouped device.
There are two ways to configure it:
Option 1 (recommended): with a System Configuration Preset. You define the settings once in the preset, then assign the preset to as many groups and ungrouped devices as you like. When you update the preset, the change applies immediately everywhere it's assigned.
Option 2: directly on an individual ungrouped device or device group.
Option 1: Configure with a System Preset (Recommended)
đĄ Why we recommend Configuration Presets. Configuring a group or ungrouped device directly means repeating the same clicks for every group and device, and repeating them again each time the setting needs to change. With a preset you configure the setting once, assign it to up to 100 groups or ungrouped devices in a single operation, and any later change to the preset applies immediately everywhere it's assigned. Over the life of a fleet this saves a significant amount of time and removes the risk of groups drifting out of sync.
Step 1: Create the preset
Navigate to Configuration Presets in the left sidebar.
Click Create Configuration Preset in the top right corner and choose System.
Enter a Name for the preset and click Create.
On the preset's page, click the Date & Time input and select the desired time zone. Leave any other System setting you don't want ArborXR to manage at Not Managed by ArborXR; only the settings you configure in the preset are applied to devices.
Click Save.
Step 2: Assign the preset
Assign the preset from the Configuration Presets library. You can assign it to up to 100 groups or ungrouped devices in a single operation.
Navigate to Configuration Presets in the left sidebar.
Select the checkbox next to the System preset you want to assign.
Click Assign.
Choose either Assign to Groups or Assign to Ungrouped Devices.
Select the target groups or ungrouped devices, then click Assign.
Option 2: Configure Directly on a Group or Device
đĄ If your organization has Require Configuration Presets enabled, direct configuration is disabled and the System section must be configured with a preset.
Navigate to the ungrouped device or configuration group in question.
Select the Settings tab.
Select System to expand the section.
Click the Date & Time input and select the desired time zone. Leave any other System setting you don't want ArborXR to manage at Not Managed by ArborXR; only the settings you configure are applied to devices.
Click Save.
