6.5.1.1 Multiple Frequency and Duration Combinations

You can now specify multiple combinations of frequency and timeframe to generate scenario dates. Previously, only one combination was allowed. This enhancement enables more flexible scenario timelines—for example, applying monthly shocks at first, then switching to yearly intervals.

Frequency refers to the interval between scenario dates. Supported values include:

• Daily – Generate dates every day
• Monthly – Generate dates every month
• Quarterly – Generate dates every quarter
• Yearly – Generate dates once per year
• Instantaneous – Generate a single event on the reference date
• 5 years – Generate dates every five years

Timefrrame specifies the number of dates to generate for the selected frequency.

Note:

• The system processes frequency entries in the order they are added. After selecting a frequency (for example, Monthly), you cannot add the same or a lower frequency (such as Daily) later. To change the order, delete the entry and re-add it.
• If you select Instantaneous:
  • The timeframe is fixed at 1.
  • The start date is automatically set to the reference date.
  • You cannot modify the timeframe or the start date.
