Users are working in different time zones. Date and time format in different regions are different. Also, some regions have daylight saving time during the summer while others don't. Therefore, you want to be able to set things up so that the logged time is shown the way you want to. Here are the few things that you can configure to achieve that.
1. Go to Profile & Settings tab in top menu ( Figure 1 ) and then select User Information
Figure 1
2. Find Timezone and Date and Time Display Format fields, you can open drop-down lists and select the format you want. If you are in day light saving time now, you need to select "I am in daylight time now" in "Daylight Time" drop down. Then click Save Changes button to commit the change. ( Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 ).
Note: We cannot automatically detect the daylight saving for you because daylight saving is highly geographical location dependent. Therefore you have to set the flag yourself based on the daylight saving enacted in your region.
