# Time configuration references

This section provides information on properties of time configuration.

-   **[Time zones](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/time-configuration/r_TimeZones.md)**  
All times are stored in Coordinated Universal Time \(UTC\) and appear globally based on the system time zone. However, times appear to users in their local time zone, according to their user preference settings.
-   **[Viewing record information over time](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/time-configuration/r_TimeDisplay.md)**  
You can use three different interfaces to view record information over time: reports and performance analytics, timeline pages, and schedule pages.
-   **[Client transaction timings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/time-configuration/r_ClientTransactionTimings.md)**  
The Client Transaction Timings plugin enhances the system logs by providing additional information about the durations of transactions taking place between the client and the server.
