Accurate timezone settings are crucial for ensuring that all your inspections and communications are timely and correctly recorded. If you're noticing discrepancies in your scheduled inspections, email times, or any time-related issues in Spectora, it might be due to incorrect localization settings.

The discrepancy in appointment times between your phone and the web could be due to mismatched time zone settings. Ensure that the time zone on your Spectora account matches the time zone used by your device.

Here’s a detailed guide to help you adjust your timezone settings in Spectora to match your local time.


Why Timezone Settings Matter

  • Accurate Scheduling: Correct timezone settings ensure that your inspections are scheduled accurately according to your local time.

  • Timely Notifications: Email and SMS notifications sent to clients and agents will be appropriately timed, reducing confusion and enhancing professionalism.

  • Seamless Coordination: If you have a team of inspectors working across different time zones, ensuring each inspector's settings are correct will improve coordination and reduce scheduling conflicts.


Common Issue: Incorrect Timezone Settings

In some cases, you might find that your inspections in the app and your inspections on the web are off by a few hours. This is usually because your timezone settings in Spectora do not match your local time.

For instance, if you are located in Tennessee, you should be using Eastern Time, but your Spectora settings might be set to Mountain Time.
