- Column width
-
Specify the maximum width of column items in list style documents (as a number of characters). If you select Auto, the column is sized to fit the largest value of the column item. If you select Fixed, you can specify the column width as a value from 10 to 80.
Selecting Auto can result in excessively wide columns when displaying full unit paths. For this reason, we recommend that you select Fixed.
- Base time
-
Specify the base time to use for monthly and daily reports. In most circumstances, this will be the same base time as JP1/AJS.
Specify an hour from 0 to 23 in the left field, and minutes from 0 to 59 in the right field.
In monthly documents, the base time serves as the boundary between columns.
Example: If the base time is 8:45, the column for the first day of the month displays information for the time period from 8:45 on the first day to 8:44:59 on the second day.
In daily documents, the 0 minute mark serves as the column boundary. However, one of the columns in which the base time occurs has an internal boundary at the base time.
Example: If the base time is 8: 45, column 0 displays information for the time period from 0:00:00 to 0:59:59. Column 8 displays information for the time period from 8:45:00 to 8:59:59 of the displayed day, and 8:00:00 to 8:44:59 of the following day.
- Set base time indicates the time at which a day starts
-
Specify whether to start daily documents at the base time. When you select this check box, a daily report shows data for 24 hours from the base time (column names start from the specified time on the day for which the document is being displayed, and end at the specified time on the following day).
If you clear this check box, a daily report shows data for 24 hours starting from midnight (column names are fixed as 0 to 23).
