Description

Currently, "company.default.time.zone" has the property description:

 

# This sets the default time zone of the portal.

 

This description is misleading to users. The property is used to set the default user's time zone upon company creation if a default user does not exist. If a default user already exists, as in most portal instances, the property cannot be used to set the time zone of the default user/portal. The description should make it clear that this is only applicable upon instance creation and provide instructions to the user for how they might change it if their instance already exists.

 

Reproduction Steps

1. Navigate to portal.properties.

Expected Result: The description clearly states the uses of the property.

Actual Result: The description is misleading.
