    Page.datetime1Beforeload = function($event, widget) {
          Page.Widgets.datetime2.setTimezone({
                 'timezone': 'Pacific/Kiritimati'
                });
  };

Apply Time Zone to Application​

In App.js write the below script. Using this script, the specified timezone will be used across all time-related widgets within the application.

     App.onPageReady = function(activePageName, activePageScope, $activePageEl) {
        App.setTimezone({
        'timezone': 'Pacific/Kiritimati'
          });
}
