For example, if your months correspond with calendar
months and the year always ends on the same day, the half year, quarter, and
trimester frequencies are available. However, if your year end varies, the half year
and trimester frequencies are not available. Optional frequencies can be added to
C h a p t e r 7 : P l a n n i n g M o d u l e i n P e r f o r m a n c e P o i n t S e r v e r 239
the calendar by checking next to the appropriate optional frequencies. The optional
frequency Quarter is checked for inclusion in the examples given in this chapter.
The next page in the wizard is the Define Period Naming Conventions page.
Here you can modify the naming conventions for each of the calendar frequencies
available from the previous page. For the purpose of the examples in this chapter, all
the options are left at their default values in this page.
The next page in the Create Application Calendar wizard is the Create Calendar
Views page. Additional custom views of the calendar data can be created when the
Application Calendar is created for the first time, or when the calendar is extended.
Calendar views are used to display members of the Time dimension in a convenient
way. For example, if the calendar includes the frequencies year, quarter, month, and
Figure 7-12 The Year-end information and the Calendar Duration information are defined
in the Calendar Pattern definition page. Care must be taken while defining
the Calendar Pattern as this cannot be altered for a given application once
the calendar is saved.
