Time Interval Setup

The time interval defines the time span for the historical data that is used to calculate the CDT. Only the specified weeks of sales data are used in the calculation. A group of intervals can be defined. Gaps between intervals are permitted; however, intervals cannot overlap. A six-month period is recommended.
