Setting the Time and Date
Since the date and time are significant parts of your daily CMS statistics, it is
important that your PC screen show the correct date and the correct time.
You can check the time and date by looking at the upper right-hand corner of
any CMS screen. If the time or date is incorrect, you can easily change it on
your PC.
