The time range of a report can be manually set using the controls in the Include vehicles after (start) and Include vehicles before (finish) blocks. The buttons, or spin control under the time adjust the time in hourly steps, or 15 minute steps if the Allow 15 minute granularity option is checked. The date spin control steps in days.
The Auto-wrap options automatically adjust the time range to a selection of common filtering requirements. If the selected wrap type cannot be applied to the available data, the time range chart will flash.
Aligned Auto-wrap options adjust the time filter to the maximum number of the selected time increment (hour, day or week), aligned to the selected time increment. Put simply:
- Aligned Hours wraps to complete hours.
- Aligned Days wraps to complete days, starting at midnight.
- Aligned Weeks wraps to complete weeks, starting midnight Monday (or Saturday for alternate weekends).
Unaligned Auto-wrap options adjust the time filter to the maximum number of the selected time increment (hour, day or week), but only aligned to hours. For example, First two unaligned days (48 hours) will select the first two days of data, aligned to the first complete hour.
Masked Auto-wrap options select the maximum number of contiguous time increments not masked by the Time Mask. For example, the first 48 hours of weekday data can be selected by masking weekends with the Time Mask, then selecting First two masked days (48 hours).
The Wrap to actual data option aligns the Auto-wrap options to the last hour, day or week containing sensor hits, as represented by the blue line. The time of the last sensor hit may differ from the dataset finish time if the RSU was removed from the field before unloading.
