Create Alternate Periods
Salesmatrix can now expand the boundaries of the 24 month
periods in former versions. If you simply require analysis of
the past 3 months by weekly periods, daily over the past
fortnight, or at the other end of the scale, analyse quarterly
seasons over the past 5 years, the alternative periods now gives
you the ability to do this.
Frequency
Choose the frequency of the periods for the alternative
period settings. If the periods are weekly based, then you will
have the option appear of when the weeks start each year.
From... Until
Choose the date range by either typing in the date or
picking it from the drop-down box.
Categories
This selects the categories that each of the periods
created will be categorized into.
Create in
By Default the only option here will be 'Alternate
Dates'. However if the Frequency chosen is monthly, then the
option is given to overwrite the current date settings that were
created at import time. This is useful if for example you have a
dataset that is greater than the default two years range, and
want to change the current default 12 months periods.
Date Format
Date formats can be altered depending on the Frequency
chosen to reflect a short form, or a form that will be sortable across
the columns in the grid. The 'Sortable' format becomes useful in
comparing the same period over multiple years.
Description
This contains the default description that will be used to
describe the alternate periods. This description can be changed
prior to the Alternate Periods being created.
