Time properties

Dashboard and ad hoc displays allow you to specify start and end times for visualizing your data.

Note: The start/end time properties cannot be directly applied to freeform displays. If you wish to provide a time interval for a freeform display, you must pass the start and end times through the Display URL Parameters property.

Start Time: Specifies the start time of the display. If this property is not specified, the start time defaults to the current time. Start and end times must be used in pairs. OSIsoft recommends using ISO 8601 standards because they are not affected by time zones.

End Time: Specifies the end time of the display. If this property is not specified, the end time defaults to 8 hours from the current. Start and end times must be used in pairs.

If no start and end times are specified, the time range of the saved display applies.
