Duration Date and # of Reporting Months

The system uses the duration date in conjunction with the number of reporting months to determine the time period that is used to retrieve the interactive report data. Enter the number of reporting months to define the number of months before or after the duration date for which you want to retrieve data.

Enter a positive value for number of reporting months to indicate the number of months starting from the duration date that are to be included in the process. Use a negative number to indicate the number of months prior to the duration date that are to be included in the process.

Note. The system does not retrieve dates prior to the entered start date regardless of the entered duration date and number of reporting months.

Use Current Date

Select to define duration date as the current system date. If this check box is selected, the system uses the number of reporting months that are relative to the current system date for each process instance.

Length of Stay

You enter data in the Length of Stay group box to define the parameters that are used to retrieve data for the length-of-stay interactive report pages.

Length of Stay (Months)

Enter the duration that a service provider can stay on assignment in accordance with the laws that govern the organization's labor practices. The system default is six months.

The system uses this value for analysis calculations, including determining the excess duration on the length-of-stay interactive report pages.

As Of Date

Select the date for which the service provider is considered active.

Leave Period (months)

Enter the maximum allowable period between the end of a project and the start of the next project. This is used to determine the service provider's start date.
