Has anyone else had issues with date fields when uploading zipped shapefiles? We have a user who uploaded data that included a date field that is Date data type. The original data has an attribute of 8/12/2013, but when uploaded to AGOL, some of those records have the date changed to 8/11/2013. To make an even odder observation, if you download the data from AGOL, the records match the original data.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The points for which the date is changed might be close to midnight and that's why it changes the date?
After speaking with the data owner again, I've theorized that there's probably some data migration issues. The source was originally in an MS Access file that was geocoded to a .gdb and then converted to .shp and then edited and then zipped for AGOL.
Phew...

[INDENT]The date and time in a pop-up window do not match the date and time in the underlying data.
Servers store dates in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Web browsers convert the date to local time. For example, if you look at a time field in a pop-up window and you are located in California during standard daylight time, what you see is 8 hours earlier (UTC-8) than the time in the data. This offset might affect the date as well. If you look at a pop-up window with data from 7/7/2011 12:00 a.m., you see 7/6/2011 5:00 p.m.[/INDENT]

I did this and it fixed the issue I was having with dates in AGOL.
