A day ahead on the progress of records indexed/reviewed

Hi a very confused indexer/reviewer here,

When I look on the progress chart of the records indexed/reviewed the last day submitted is a day ahead, for example today Aug 27 2021 I reviewed a few records but the last day submitted shows Aug 28 2021, how's that? Can it be corrected/amended?

This is a great question! What's happening is that the indexing system operates on GMT. GMT is the time zone for the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, United Kingdom.

This is important to remember when you are indexing a batch and it's due "today". You will have until midnight "today" but in the time zone GMT.

Thank you for your reply Dellory Matthews, but it did not answer my question, the question was not pertinent to batches expiring "today" I also leave in UK GMT time zone, in my opinion the change in the date should not be happening.
