During the mobile device management (MDM) process, administrators may face challenges in coordinating tasks across different time zones. This can be a significant issue if your organization operates globally or has remote teams working in different locations. Proper synchronization of date and time settings between all devices is critical for efficient operation and clear communication.

AirDroid Business offers a solution to this issue with its Date and Time Policy feature. This article will guide you through understanding what the Date and Time Policy in AirDroid Business is and how to implement it.

Date and Time Policy can ensure that all devices in the network are running under the correct date and time settings. This includes not only the correct time zone but also the exact local time to prevent any confusion or miscommunication.
