In my map, I have several layers enable editor tracking, but the time zone is not the same as our location time zone (GMT +8). When I try to use time slider to modify the time, I find the time slider is disabled.

I want to check how to modify the time value in the editor tracking fields. If use time slide, how can I enable time slider?

I am using arcmap 10.2.2.

    I'm not sure what you're asking. To enable the Time Slider, you must have Time enabled on one or more layers in the map document (there is a Time tab on the layer properties). The Time Slider displays information by time, it does not modify values. It is capable of automatically converting between time zones. However if you're looking to actually change the values, that's more a field calculation.

  • Hi Chris, thanks for the information. I tried to check "enable time on this layer", and after that I created a new feature on the layer, but the time value (created_date and last_edited_date) still follow the UTC time zone, not the UTC + 8 as wanted.

  • Hi all, I have found the reason - I need to set the editor tracking time zone to the database time zone. The steps have mentioned in this link: geonet.esri.com/thread/62920

  • I would suggest you go ahead and post that as an answer and accept it. It's ok to answer your own question and even accept that answer, though there are some waiting periods to do so.

Was going to write long answer on how to solve this issue but I think this, and this will do a better job explaining if its not obvious(and no Geonet Login).
