Populating past reporting periods

You can control whether data from previous reporting periods or the current reporting period is included in the reporting schema.

Use the following procedure to change the Populate Past Periods setting, which controls what is populated in the reporting schema. By default, the reporting schema is populated with the data from previous reporting periods.

Procedure

  1. Click Open Administration menu Administration menu > System Configuration > Settings.
  2. Expand the Platform | Reporting Schema folder hierarchy.
  3. Click the Populate Past Periods setting.
  4. In the Value field, type one of the following values:
    Table 1. Past period reporting values
    Value Description
    true The reporting schema is populated with the data from the current reporting period and all past reporting periods that are enabled.

    This value is set by default.

    Note: When this setting is set to true, it increases the amount of data that is published by the Reporting Schema operation and increases the time it takes to drop and re-create the Reporting Schema.
    false The reporting schema is populated with the data from the current reporting period.
  5. Click Done.

What to do next

Re-create the reporting schema. See, Changes that require the reporting schema to be updated or re-created.
