I followed the steps and tried Other/Custom DST, and as it shows in the screenshot attached, it appears to be correct however my real time footprint chart still is basing its time from the NY/EST timezone, not my Dallas/CST timezone.... what am i missing or doing wrong here?

We definitely do not recommend using Other/Custom DST. It would be very rare that you would ever have to use that. Choose Chicago time instead.

And we recommend setting the Time Zone itself in the chart:
