Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Time Zone Date Functions

When you enable the time zone feature, you can use the fields of the DateTime and DateOnly type to access date information in the specified time zone. For example, if a user in New York runs a SAQL query, they see date information displayed in Eastern Standard time.

In SAQL, the DateOnly type displays the date with an empty timestamp, for example, “2014-12-31 00:00:00.” The inclusion of the timestamp is a limitation of the beta release.
