Local Time – Custom Fields and List Views
The Local Time custom fields can be placed in Account, Contact, Lead, and Task page layouts and their related list views.
The Local Time custom field shows a value Unknown for all the old records that were created prior to the installation of the App. However, this custom field will start showing proper values after you update these old records or create any new records.
Please note that the Local Time custom field will continue to show the value Unknown if the address or the phone number information is incorrect for the record.
Summary of Usable Fields
Following is a summary of fields for each supported object that are available for your use in list views, page layouts, reports, workflow/process builder/flow automations, and integratios. Any other App related fields that you see for these objects in your Salesforce org are used by the App behind the scenes, and thus you should not use them directly.
