Description

Report Grouping

Select a report grouping parameter to define the model's scope.

Examples: All Master Servers or User

Metric

Select a metric or category of service.

Example: Daily Occupancy

Amount

Specify the total amount of money, in dollars, you expect to charge for service within that category in a given time frame.

Examples: $50000, $10000, or $10000.00

Time Frame

Defines the beginning and end of the time interval the estimate must cover. You can choose either absolute or relative dates. Choose absolute dates if you want the estimate's contents to remain static whenever you display it. Choose relative dates if you want the estimate to reflect data that was collected over the most recent time interval.

Select one of the following:

  • Click Absolute to configure an absolute time frame. Select a start time (month, day, year, and time of day) using the From drop-down lists, and a stop time using the To drop-down lists. The estimate reflects data from the time period between the start and the end dates.

    Example: From MAR 1 2004 12:00 A.M. to APR 30 2004 12:00 A.M.

  • Click Relative to configure a relative time frame. Then select a time interval using the Last drop-down lists. The estimate reflects the data that is collected within the specified time period, up to the current time.

    Examples: Last 21 Days or Last two Quarters

    The Relative setting is especially useful for the estimates that you plan to generate on a regular basis. Such estimates always reflect the data that is collected over the most recent time interval.
