Object documentationPredefined Time Windows

 

Fixed time windows are available in the function bar above the graphs, which enable you to restrict the display period to a specific time period.

The starting point for the display is determined by the current time period focus. When a time window is selected, the current date/time is retained on the right.

If the number of displayable days is less than the number of days you want to display, the relevant pushbuttons for selecting the time windows are not active.

Note Note

  • The icons for one day, one week and one month are not active if the respective displayed period on the time axis is smaller.

  • For predefined time windows, the period focus is displayed with a blue background in the time bar navigation area.

  • If a predefined time window is selected, the related icon is also displayed with a blue background.

To divide up the period under consideration, a time ruler is displayed above the graphs. Its grid adjusts flexibly to the time period focus set in the time bar navigation area. For example, if you select the Entire display period in the case/time period selection, the time ruler divides this into quarters; if you select 1 Week, the ruler divides this into the associated days. The current day (today) is represented by a red line that runs vertically through all graphs.
