7.15.3 Items on Column Item tab

The following describes the items displayed on the Column Item tab:

Basic style

Select Monthly, Daily, or List. Any settings you have entered are discarded if you change this setting while in the process of editing a format definition. The default is List.

Column items list

This area lists the column items available with the basic style you selected.

Selected items list

Specify the column items to include in the document, and define the order in which you want them to appear. You can add and remove column items by using the Add and Delete buttons. Use the Up and Down buttons to change the order.

  Select Sign or Sign(Time).

• For items in Daily Result

  Select Sign, Sign(Time), or (Time)Detail.

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 based on the 24-hour display system^#, 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.

In addition, if the base time is 8:45 based on the 48-hour display system^#, two columns 0 display information for the time period from 0:00:00 to 0:59:59. The first 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 two days later, while the second column 8 displays information for the time period from 8:00:00 to 8:59:59 of the following day.

48-hour display system^#

When you select this check box, a daily report shows data for 48 hours from the base time (dated column names start from the specified time on the day for which the document is being displayed, and end at the specified time two days later).

If you clear this check box, a daily report shows data for 48 hours starting from midnight (dated column names are fixed as 0 to 23).
