Insight Test tab shows different results from same record in a view

Issue
When testing an on-demand record in Studio, the sample data shows some field values (like dates) adjusted to a different time zone, however, shows the correct value when that record is placed in a view.
Cause
As designed behavior of Test tab processing.
Solution
There are configurations that will exhibit this behavior. For example, if the data source used in the record has a date field, and that date field is configured with a Time Zone offset (Studio | Data Sources | {dataSource}) when you select the date field, the Test tab will process that internally (as if it were a pre-calculated record). But when that same record is placed into a view, that logic does not run and presents the data as it resides in the data source's database table.
Level of Complexity
Easy.
