Timestamp question

Hi we just get a little confused about the timestamp used in PlayFab.

The timestamp we used in our game is UTC 0, like the time in Playstream. But when we search data in Event History of Analytics, the time changes to UTC -8.

Please let me make it more clearly. When we search data in Event History and choose the date and time, just take 2018-01-14T00:00:00 TO 2018-01-14T00:00:00 for example, there should be ONE bar in the chart, since it is one day. Actually there are TWO bars in the chart. And the label shows the time is 16:00 (our timezone is UTC+8). And we don't know the data belongs to which day.

It make us a little bit confused and it is not very convenient for us to do the data analysis. I'm just wondering if the timestamp could be unified.

You Would have to change your user settings to be UTC. Then we don't translate the times
