Attributes

name: Defines the name of the Period drop-down list component.

Possible values:

•periodmonth

Period drop-down list - path: <outlook><components><component><value>

Defines the default value for the component.

Possible values:

•The IDs of the periods defined in the system.

•%GLOBAL PERIOD%: The value of the %GLOBAL PERIOD% parameter can be set using the Parameters custom template (refer to Global Parameters in Clausion Financial Performance Management Administrator's Guide). All tasks that use the % GLOBAL PERIOD% parameter then open with this period selected by default, and it is not necessary to set the value for every task separately. For example, if the GLOBAL PERIOD parameter has the value 2, which is usually February, all tasks that use the %GLOBAL PERIOD% parameter open with February selected by default. For the next month's reporting, the period value needs to be changed only in the global parameter settings for all tasks to open with March by default.

If the value is missing or does not match an existing period ID, the first value from the drop-down list is used as the default.
