Other special usage parameters relate to time series analysis and the use of the time filter box which including the following:
-
TimeWindowStart
-
TimeWindowEnd
-
Snapshot
When the time filter box handles are moved to filter on a time window, these special parameters will automatically receive the updated Date/Times, in ISO UTC format.
For example:
Produces:
TimeWindowStart = 2008-01-02T00:00:00Z
TimeWindowEnd = 2009-03-06T00:00:00Z
Snapshot = 2008-11-14T00:00:00Z
For example:
Produces:
TimeWindowStart = 2008-03-26T16:17:13Z
TimeWindowEnd = 2009-01-09T17:50:47Z
Snapshot = 2008-12-22T00:00:00Z
These parameters can then be used as appropriate to restrict the amount of time series data returned in the resultant dataset.
Typically when Time parameters are used they are written for visual display, or for input into a data query.
The curly bracket syntax is used to determine the display format.
For example:
{TimeWindowStart} produces: 2008-03-26T16:17:13Z
While:
{TimeWindowStart:yyyy-MM-dd} produces: 2008-03-26
{TimeWindowStart:dd/MMM/yy} produces: 26/Mar/08
{TimeWindowStart:HH:mm:ss} produces: 16:17:13
