We're happy to include the **Timezone** field for the Scheduled Views. Previously, *America/Los_Angeles (Includes DST)* was considered as the default timezone. Going forward, you can select/edit the timezone of your choice. If you do not make a selection, the Scheduled View will default to the timezone preference in Sumo Logic.

1. **Scheduled View name**. Enter a name for the view. You'll use this name in queries to search the view, so use a name that's descriptive and easy to remember. Names can contain alphanumeric characters; underscores (`_`) are the only special characters allowed. View names can only have (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), $, and _ after the first letter.

1. **Query.** Enter the full query that encompasses the data you'd like indexed in the view. Parse operators and most search operators are supported in views.
1. **Search Mode**. Set to **Auto Parse Mode** for [Dynamic Parsing](../../search/get-started-with-search/build-search/dynamic-parsing.md) of JSON data. Manual Mode is the default search behavior.
1. **Start Date.** Click the date that you'd like to use as the start time of the index. All data from that point forward will be indexed in the scheduled view. The oldest selectable date represents the end of the retention period of your Sumo Logic account.
:::note limitation
You cannot select a start date older than 365 days.
:::
1. **Timezone**. Select the timezone for the scheduled view of your choice from the drop-down. If you do not make a selection, the Scheduled View will default to the timezone preference in Sumo Logic. But if the timezone is not set in Sumo Logic *User Preferences* page, then this will default to the timezone from your browser.
1. **Retention Period.** Either enter a retention period for the data in the index, in days, or click **Apply the retention period of Default Partition**. For more information, see [Manage Indexes with Variable Retention](../partitions/manage-indexes-variable-retention.md).
1. **Data Forwarding.** (Optional). Choose **Enable Data Forwarding** to [forward data from Sumo to Amazon S3](../data-forwarding/amazon-s3-bucket.md). The results from the Scheduled View are forwarded to S3. Raw logs are sent if the view query does not use an aggregate operator. If the view query performs an aggregation, aggregate results are sent. See [File Format](../data-forwarding/amazon-s3-bucket.md) for details on how the file objects are structured.
1. Click **Save**.
