Setting Up Interval Profile Types

Interval Profile Types define values common to interval profiles of the same type. Open Admin > Interval Profile Type > Add to define your interval profile types.

Description of Page

Enter a unique Interval Profile Type ID and Description for the interval profile type.

Indicate whether interval profiles of this type are SA Owned or Common by entering the appropriate value in the interval profile Sub Type.

The Creation Priority will be used by the Interval Profile Derivation Process to determine the order in which the data for profiles linked to an SA should be derived. The values range from 10, being the highest priority to 90 being the lowest priority.

Enter the Unit of Measure (UOM) that data values stored for interval profiles of this type are captured in.

If a service quantity identifier is needed to further qualify data stored for interval profiles of this type, enter a valid SQ Identifier.

Enter the Minutes per Interval to define the number of minutes expected in between each row of data collected for interval profiles of this type.

If the installation record indicates that seasonal time shift is required, then you must enter the appropriate Seasonal Time Shift record applicable for the interval data. Please take special note of the issue described in the Evenly Sized Intervals section.

The grid contains Algorithms that may be used to create or validate interval data for profiles of this type. You must define the following for each algorithm:

• Specify the System Event with which the algorithm is associated (see the table that follows for a description of all possible events).
• Specify the Sequence number and Algorithm for each system event. You can set the Sequence Number to 10 unless you have a System Event that has multiple Algorithms. In this case, you need to tell the system the Sequence in which they should execute.

We expect that you will need more algorithms than we supply. Your algorithms will be based on any number of factors. Be aware that new algorithms may require programming. See How To Add A New Algorithm for more information.

The following table describes each System Event.
