+Under the General School Settings section, there is a section for **Time Settings**. Here, the local time can be set in comparison to the server time, security limits for account authentication can be set, and time slots can be set for access to dismissal information.
 ==== Local Time ====
 The time value shown on the right side of the screen titled **Server Time** is the current time on the server. The left side displays the time at it is locally at the school. If the current time at the school is different than the server time, adjust the local time value to that it is correct. For example, if the server shows the time as 15:56 (3:56 PM) but the current time at the school is actually 1:56 PM, then set the **Local Time** value to 13 to represent 1 PM.

 Time values throughout Silent Dismissal will be scaled to match your local time. If your school is in a state that does not observe Daylight Saving Time it will be necessary to adjust this value during the school year as the Silent Dismissal servers automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time.

 Messages, bus list, and van list information will be displayed as it is entered.
 ==== Security Limit ====
 The security limit value defines the number of consecutive incorrect sign on attempts that are allowed for an account. When this limit is exceeded, the account will not be accessible until an administrator changes the account password. It is necessary for an administrator to [[admin:security_limit_exceeded|reset the security lock out]] for the user to regain access to the account.
