ISOMONTH

A valid time unit ID for each STORABLE column

TIMEUNIT is a mandatory parameter in column A for form templates. Each cell value column must be connected to a time unit. The time units that can be defined are the ISO time units, as well as any customized time unit added in Bizview.

Below is a list of standard time units:

  • ISOYEAR
  • ISOQUARTER
  • ISOMONTH
  • ISOWEEK
  • ISOWEEKDAY
  • ISODATE

Note: In one template different time units can be used. However, within one SPGROUP the time unit needs to be same.

A time unit must be defined for each STORABLE column in the template.

The TIMEUNIT row should be defined with ROWTYPE = DESIGN (the row will be hidden when document is generated):

If you only have one TIMEUNIT in the template you can easily change the TIMEVAL column in column A to the TIMEUNIT you use and remove the TIMEUNIT row.

For example:

  • If you have ISOYEAR on all columns where TIMEUNIT is stated, change TIMEVAL in column A to ISOYEAR.

  • If you have more than one TIMEUNIT add a new row and state all TIMEUNITs. E.g. ISOYEAR, ISOMONTH etc.
