Selecting the CP-Time Span

Define a time period within the data source time span which is to be shared. This is how you specify which time steps are shown with values and will accept input.

With the "unrestricted" option you can share the entire data source time span.

With the "CP time span selection" option you can define any number of time spans, or use existing ones. To define a CP time span, click the "create a new CP time span" button and give the time span a name.

There are three time rules from which to choose:

"From start date" rule

Give the time rule a name and define the start date as from which the CP time span is to be shared indefinitely. To select the start date, click the date picker.

"Fixed time range" rule

Give the time span a name and define a time range from date x to date y.

"Recurring time range" rule

With this time rule you can define a fixed time span which recurs at regular intervals from a specific date. Give it a name and define a start date, a duration and a recurrence interval.

Having defined the CP time span, click "OK". The new time range will then appear in the CP time span selection. Select the desired CP time span and click "Next".

Selecting a CP time span:

To delete CP time spans which have been defined, click the "deletion of a new CP time span" button. In the dialogue, all the unused CP time spans are listed. Select the CP time span to be deleted and click "OK". CP time spans which are in use cannot be deleted!
