Time Field Format Dialog

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Here you select how event times are displayed and entered in the current model.


Relative Time Elapsed.
Event times are shown as the elapsed interval since the run is started. Planimate will format times into days, hours, minutes, seconds etc. There is no calendar reference and months are assumed to all have 30 days.


Relative Seconds Elapsed
Event times are shown as the number of seconds since the run is started. No formatting of times is performed, all times and intervals are seconds.


Fraction Of Largest Time Unit
Planimate will format event times as a fraction of their largest time unit. For example, 3 hours 30 minutes will be shown as 3.5h instead of 3:30.


Actual Calendar Dates/Times
Event times are shown as an actual calendar date. This option is the most common for scheduling models as it enables Planimate to handle calendar times and intervals properly. When this option is selected, you will be prompted to set a calendar date as a reference date for Planimate to use during editing. The default is usually OK as the run's calendar start date is set separately.
