If you have a license for Analyze Point, time protocols and time evaluations are available at several points in it (e.g. time evaluation, job evaluation, machine evaluation, etc.). Configuration of the time types is relevant only if you want a time evaluation in Analyze Point.
See Time Evaluation for a detailed explanation of time evaluation.
You have the following setup options in the "Time type" tab:
•Defining a New Time Type
You have to do this only if you created a new action beforehand and this cannot be assigned to any existing time type.
•Assign an action to a time type
This is necessary only if you created a new action beforehand. All predefined actions are already assigned to a time type.
•Modify name (designation) of a time type
In some countries, it may be necessary to modify the designation of the time type. In Germany, we recommend keeping the predefined designations. These are in compliance with the guidelines of the German Association of Print and Media.
You have to do this only if you created a new action beforehand and this cannot be assigned to any existing time type.
