The Time Navigation toolbar allows users to manage their time frames (as with Timesheets, for instance) in time-distributed views. The designs and options these toolbars offer might vary from one view to another.
Here is a list of capabilities that the toolbars offer:
Today | Button that returns the user to the current time period | |
Jump to Date | Popup wherein the user can select a specific date to “jump to”. Once the selection is validated, the view switches to the corresponding time period. | |
Custom | Once activated, gives the user the ability to enter custom dates. Note Depending on the toolbar, the custom option can allow the user to either enter a custom Start Date (the interval will be the one set manually) or to enter both a Start and a Finish date (the interval to be automatically calculated by Sciforma). | |
Intervals | Picklist that allows the user to select the interval (i.e., Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year). | |
Number of Intervals | Picklist, wherein the user can select the number of intervals to display. This number can range from 1 to 12. |
It is also possible to go from one time period to another by using the navigation Previous () and Next () arrows.
In some views, the Presets () button of the time navigation toolbar is provided, allowing the user to directly set the displayed timeframe as follows:
Selected Preset Value | Time frame Displayed |
