Testing the TimeZone configuration

To confirm that the timezones and time differences are calculating correctly, use the XXX to verify the calculation. The screen has used the logged in users preference setting to determine the System Region, which then allows you to enter the region where you wish to check against.

In the following example, we are spanning days to demonstrate the values the system will use as it manages the RAWS specific times.
