Time Configuration

Configure how Tellius handles time-based data with flexible options for weekend dates, dynamic time slices, current period inclusion, and custom calendars

Under Settings → Application Settings → Time Configuration, admins can control how Tellius interprets and interacts with time-based data across queries, insights, and calendars (especially when dealing with non-standard or fiscal calendars).

Time Configuration

Weekend Date Configuration

Use weekend date by default

If enabled, Tellius will use the weekend date as the reference point for time-based calculations (e.g., weekly comparisons, trending by weekends). This is helpful for businesses whose data processing or reporting aligns with weekend cycles.

Time Slices Reference Point

Use current system date?

Tellius typically uses the maximum date in your dataset as the default reference point when calculating dynamic time slices (e.g., “last 7 days” or “previous month”). If enabled, Tellius will use the current system date instead.

Enabling this may lead to unexpected results if your dataset is not updated daily—such as showing empty results for recent periods.

Include Current Time

Include current time grain (e.g., day) in last X time queries

This setting controls whether queries for "last X time" (like last 7 days) should include the current day/hour/week, depending on the selected time grain.

• If enabled, today is included in calculations.

• If disabled, queries will exclude the in-progress current period.
