Frequencies determine when measure result and target values are expected to be entered (collection frequency), and the dates with which these values are displayed in reports (reporting frequency). You can use these frequencies:
None—No frequency. You must specify the date on which results will be entered.
Daily—Every day
Daily (M-F)—Every weekday
Weekly—Each week
Semi-monthly—On the first and sixteenth days of the month (for February, on the first and the 15th)
Monthly—Each month
Quarterly— Each quarter year. Quarters begin one the first day of January, April, July, and October.
Semi-annually—Twice a year.
Annually—Once a year.
Specify the actual day on which to collect results and target values using the following periods, or subfrequencies:
Every x periods—How much time elapses between collection. For example, if you select a monthly frequency and enter a period of 3, results or targets are collected on every third month.
The first day of the period—Day of the week on which to collect data.
The first day of the period—Collect data on the first day of the period. For example, if for a target you chose a monthly frequency, specify a period of 2, and this option, target values are gathered monthly, every other month on the first day of the month.
The last day of the period—Specify the day on which to collect data. For example, for a measure, you chose the weekly frequency, specify a period of 4, and select this option, results are collected on the last day of every fourth week.
x day of the period—Specify the day on which to collect data. For example, if for a target, you use a semi-monthly frequency, a period of 2, and specify 4 for this option, target values are gathered twice a month, every month, on the fourth day of the month.
The last day of the period—Specify the last day on which to collect data. For example, if you chose a frequency of weekly, specify a period of 4, and select Wednesday from this list, data is collected on the last Wednesday of every week, every four weeks.
On date—Always collect results on the date that you specify.
