Recently I was working on a setting and automating a small project, this environment had very limited access to internet because of restrictions, Only required external partner websites were accessible. Users were using change management tool, they had to schedule times for change and company were spread across multi geographic regions, they had to convert date and time to input in change management tool. To ease the their task I created date and time converter tool, after launching script this opens the manual page and shows how to use this tool.
Next after pressing launch button, it shows the the main utility tool for data and time conversion. Using tool is very easy. Stop or Change button stops the clock you can only edit orange color box to enter your required time and take required date, Drop down combobox and RadioButton combination changed timezone and date time on respective box. Start button inside orange box start clock again.
Download script from Github.com or here.
