Transaction group, UTC tstamp when the Gateway is EST

How do you make your tstamps in a transaction group show in UTC instead of EST if your gateway is set for EST?

In the designer? You don't. (Everything in the designer uses the designer's time zone, pretty much.)

Clients will use the project timezone setting to translate timestamps naïvely displayed there (depending on the component, in Perspective).

Beyond that, you would be responsible for rendering timstamps to strings with forced time zone conversions. See this Perspective topic for techniques:

Of course, if your transaction groups are storing into tables whose t_stamp columns are discarding timezone information, you may be screwed.
