When selected, it raises an explanation plus a checkbox which indicates an advanced setting. (Alternately, it could be a checkbox in the main interface).\r\n-\tIt is not ticked by default\r\n-\tWhen not ticked, it sets defaults that make sense to a casual user, as this is likely the majority case\r\n--\t In the control rows (top of interface):\r\n---\tonly the DateTime row is shown in the interface. \r\n---\tThe rows showing UtcOffset, Date, and Time are not shown in the interface.\r\n---\tUtcOffset, Date and Time are marked as not visible\r\n---\tDateTime is marked as visible\r\n--\tIn the spreadsheet:\r\n---\tOnly the DateTime column is shown\r\n--\tA consequence within Timelapse (to discuss):\r\n---\tThe spreadsheet output only includes DateTime, which incorporates the UTC within it, i.e., it adds the UTCOffset to the UTC DateTime\r\n \r\n-\tWhen ‘Use UTC Date/Time Settings (advanced)’ is ticked, \r\n--\tIn the control rows (top of interface):\r\n---\tthe DateTime, UtcOffset, Date, and Time are visible in the interface \r\n---\tQuestion: do we really need to show Date and Time, as the current DateTime shows the DateTime plus the offset rather than the UTC time?\r\n---\tAll are marked as not visible\r\n--\tIn the spreadsheet:\r\n---\tAll columns are visible:  DateTime, UtcOffset, Date, and Time\r\n--\tA consequence within Timelapse (to discuss):\r\n---\tThe spreadsheet output shows the DateTime as UTC, and the UTCOffset. The Date  and Time fields are calculated as the DateTime+Offset\r\n \r\nTimelapse:\r\n \r\n-\tIf the advanced setting is indicated in the template, \r\n--\twe show Date, Time, DateTime, UTCOffset\r\n--\tWe enable DateCorrection / Set TimeZone\r\n--\tWe export to the spreadsheet DateTime (as UTC), UtcOffset, Date, and Time\r\n-\tIf the non-advanced setting is indicated in the template,\r\n--\tWe show only DateTime\r\n--\tWe disable DateCorrection / Set TimeZone\r\n--\tWe export to the spreadsheet DateTime (as UTC + UtcOffset)\r\n \r\nThis does introduce an inconsistency in how DateTime is outputted to the spreadsheet, but I don’t think that is an issue as users can use either option and then generate either output type. Alternately, we can just output the Date Time to the spreadsheet\r\n"}}
