The Period dimension is a hierarchical dimension that designates the time period to which the close activities apply, for example a month or quarter. You typically define a period with months rolling up to quarters within years. For example, you can define a quarterly period of Q1 with the child members of January, February, and March. You can also define your own period rollups, such as a 13-month reporting period.
You can add siblings and children to periods. A sibling is a member at the same level, such as January and February. A child is a member below a member in the period hierarchy; for example, January is a child member of Q1.
You assign calendar dates to periods when you create schedules.
You can add, edit, reorder, and delete periods.

To add a sibling, click Add Sibling, name the member, and click Submit.
To add a child, click Add Child, name the member, and click Submit.
To edit a period, select it, click Edit, rename it and click Submit.
To reorder a period, select it and click Move Up or Move Down.
