Time Periods
Time Periods can be defined to match the required reporting periods and intervals. They can be of type Month, Quarter and Year, and will be pre-populated when the module is enabled.
To record Time Periods, navigate to
- For Emissions: ...Emissions Management
 Administration Time Period - For Metrics: ...Metrics Management Administration Time Period
|
NOTE:
- The Metrics Management module uses its own Time Period component, which is independent of any other Time Period components that may be used in other modules in your system.
- When enabling the Metrics Module, the system will automatically create all time periods up to the 2030 year.

Name the Time Periods consistently, so that they are easily identifiable, and can be sorted in a logical manner. Examples:

Type

Time Periods need to be classified as either of these types:
Only create Time Periods of the same type which are in line with your Reporting Requirements.
For example, if you need/want to report on ANNUAL numbers only, just create Time Periods of the type "Year".
|
Date Range for the current Time Period
|
Enter the corresponding FROM and TO dates for the Time Period.
|
NOTE:
Type and Date Ranges will become "Read Only" once data has been collected for a Time Period.
|
|
Closed
|
By ticking the Closed box, the system will "lock" records associated with this Time Period, and no new records for this Time Period can be added.
If there are outstanding data to be collected for that Time Period, the system will throw an error message and will not allow to close that Time Period.
