This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to update your profile timezone and your notary commission profile timezones on the Jurat Inc. platform. It is important to have the correct timezones set to ensure accurate record-keeping. The guide also explains how to automatically populate the timezone when creating new entries and all associated alerts.
Managing your user account timezone settings
Navigate and login to https://app.juratinc.com and click "User Profile"
Click this dropdown in the "Default Timezone" section on the right and select your default timezone.
Tip: Your default timezone should be the timezone in which you reside; it is important to create this distinction because each notary commission profile can also have it's own timezone
Click "Save"
Alert: Each notary commission profile also needs to have a timezone selected, and because notaries can have multiple active commissions it is important to specify.
