Source Time Period

Select historical sales data for clustering and view contextual data to analyze cluster performance. You can specify more than one time period and assign different weights to different periods in order to place more or less emphasis on different periods.

Source time periods are available for all cluster criteria. With product and performance or mixed criteria, when performance metrics are used for clustering, these define the historical data used for the calculation. This time period also defines the historical data used to display BI when sales metrics are shown.
