4. Metrics Period Resolution: The period resolution that the metrics refer to.
   • Daily: Means every metric will refer on the date it sums.
   • Lifetime: Means that every metric will refer to the lifetime summed data that had been aggregated until the referred date.
5. Time Period:



Select the type of time period of the report.

It can be a custom date range (as described in the picture above) or a defined time period shown in the pop up list (for example Yesterday, last week etc.)

Instructions if selecting ‘Date Range’:

Select the start date and end date.

Leave the end date empty in order to pull data until the moment
the river runs.

After each run of the river, the start date will be updated automatically with the end date, and the end date will be updated with the empty value. This enables the next run to pull data from the end of the previous run.

Select the time zone offset. It will be relevant only if the end date is empty in order to find the moment of the river’s run according to the time zone.

Days back - use this input to tell Rivery to pull data from the given days back before the given start date.

Instructions if selecting any other value:

Select the timezone offset in order to send the correct dates that consider that offset.
