Understand Time Basis

In Analytics Insights, time basis relates to how often data is received and how much time the data represents. For example, electric meter register reads and consumption data each provide metric data in kWh. However, they have different time basis because register reads are received at various times of the day and have variable timestamps (ACTUAL time basis), while daily consumption represents a calculation of a day’s worth of data and will have a timestamp of midnight-to-midnight (DAILY time basis). Commonly used time basis' are Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and Actual, which is often aggregated from shorter intervals.
