Adding Events

  To add an event:

1. In Data Attributes, click View Events.

2. In Historical Data – Events, click Add (Alt+a).

3. In the Add Event dialog, provide the following requested information:

   • Name—A label to identify the event

   • Apply to all series—When selected, applies the new event to all series, not just to the current series

   • Start date—The date the event or the first occurrence of the event began (Setting Event Dates)

   • Duration—The number of time periods that include a single occurrence of the effects of the event; this number must be a whole number, not a decimal, greater than 0

   • Repeats—Whether the event never repeats, repeats continuously at regular intervals, or repeats at custom (irregular) intervals

     To enter additional irregular intervals after the “Start date” entry (including intervals in the future), select at custom intervals and follow the instructions in Setting Event Dates.

     If you select every, intervals are assumed to repeat in future predicted data as well as in past historical data.

4. When settings are complete, click OK.
