General commands

This tab allows defining the list of Periods you want to assess. You can enter a Fixed or Relative period (Day, Week, Month, Year) by selecting the corresponding Type or directly enter periods’ Begin and End.

 

Columns

Type

Select the period type.

If you choose “Fixed”, you’ll have to manually enter a valid date in Begin and End columns. If you choose a relative period, Beginand End are populated with default values you can edit.

This is not a mandatory step: you can directly enter Begin and End, the type will be set accordingly.

Begin

Enter the beginning of the period. If it doesn’t match selected Type, it will be adjusted. If it is not correct, your change will be cancelled.

End

Enter the end of the period. If it doesn’t match selected Type, it will be adjusted. If it is not correct, your change will be cancelled.

End is not mandatory: if not setup, it will be the same than Begin for Relative periods, and yesterday for Fixed ones.

When both are defined, Begin offset must be greater or equal than End offset (will be controlled in further versions).
