Time Period Parameters |

Some summary tables allow you to summarize by time periods. For example, you can summarize teller transactions into half-hour intervals of the day to view when transactions are processed over a period of time. The time parameters always have three fields: Period Name, Start Time, and End Time. The screen provides some help for you so you don’t have to enter every single time period manually.
Like the other parameter types, the time period parameter has the capability to display default parameters. If the text “Displaying defaults” is displayed in a yellow background just to the left of the <Save All Rows> button (as in the example above), the text displayed on the screen is the default data.
If you change the data and then save it, the default data with your changes added to it will be saved for your institution. The next time the data is displayed, you will not see the “Displaying defaults” message.
The screen appears as follows:
