Global Tree Period Type

Units:	-
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	In (0,1,2,3,4,5,6)
Key Property:	No
Description:	Scenario Tree: Period type for stage positions
Detail:

Global Tree Period Type sets the period type for the Tree Stages Position argument. The setting can take these values:

Interval (value = 0): Positions are in intervals, where an interval is defined by Horizon Periods per Day.
Day (value = 1): Positions are in calendar days, where a days is defined by the Day Beginning.
Week (value = 2): Positions are in weeks, where a week is defined by the Horizon Week Beginning.
Month (value = 3): Positions are in calendar months.
Fiscal Year (value = 4): Positions are in fiscal years where the year is defined by Horizon Year Ending.
Hour (value = 6): Positions are in hours.

Example

In the following, a three-stage tree is defined where the first stage ends at week 3, the second at 4.

Table 1: Tree Period Type Example
Global	Property	Value	Units	Band
BinaryTree	Tree Period Type	Week (2)	-	1
BinaryTree	Tree Stages Position	3	-	1
BinaryTree	Tree Stages Position	4	-	2
BinaryTree	Tree Stages Leaves	2	-	1
BinaryTree	Tree Stages Leaves	4	-	2

Notice that the Tree Period Type will affect the sample values. If this parameter is not set to Interval, the samples will be averaged in the provided Tree Period Type.
