Period Syntax

Syntax Example Comment
empty parameter/not defined All periods as defined in the global period selector are displayed.
[] [] Selects default property value (not period related). This must be used when using the count property and retrieving resource sets. See Count Examples.
* * Displays 1 'virtual' period which represents the sum of all periods in the horizon.
[<period name>] [Week 1] Displays period specified. For example, Week 1.
[<period name>],[<period name>] [Week 1],[Week 2] Displays period specified. For example, Week 1, Week 2.
[<period name>]+<number periods> [Week 2]+1 Displays the period specified and subsequent number of periods. For example, periods: 'Week 2', 'Week 3'.
[#<period index>]+<number periods> [#10]+2 Displays the 10th period in the horizon plus 2 following periods. #10, #11, #12.
*[#<period index>]+<number periods> *[#2]+2 Displays 1 'virtual' period which represents the SUM over the period range (period index + subsequent two periods. For example, Sum of Period 2, Period 3, Period 4).
*[<period name>]+<number periods> *[Week 4]+3 Displays 1 'virtual' period which represents the SUM over the period range (period name + subsequent three periods. For example, Sum of Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7).
*[<period name>]+<number periods> *[Week 4]+3,[Week 4]+3 Displays 1 'virtual' period which represents the SUM over the period range and the individual periods (period name + subsequent three periods. For example, Sum of Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7 and the Values of Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7).
*,[<period name>]+<number periods> *,1+%app_var_sp_sco_cycle_horizon% Displays 1 'virtual' period which represents the sum of all periods in the horizon followed by all periods in the horizon as defined in the sp_sco_cycle_horizon app variable.
*[#%periodcontextstart%]+%periodcontextcount% *[#%periodcontextstart%]+%periodcontextcount% Displays 1 "virtual" period, which represents the sum of the periods specified in the global period selector for the user.
[#%periodcontextstart%]+2 [#%periodcontextstart%]+2 Displays the first period in the global period selector, plus the following 2 periods.
Note: When setting the syntax, there must be no spaces between the specific queries. For example, *[Week 4]+3.
