<duration> element

Specifies a time span report user parameter.

<reports> 
  <report>
    <userParameters>
      <duration id="parameter id">
        <name lang="[en|de]>...</name>
        <description lang="[en|de]">...</description>
        <default>...</default> 
      </duration>
    </userParameters>
  </report>
</reports>

Remarks:

Users can set time interval in days, hours, minutes, or seconds. On the report dialog, it is displayed using a time duration control. The display format of the control is adjustable and possible formats are described below. The <duration> element has optional inputFormat attribute that defines the format of the duration control. The attribute can have a set of the following values: days, hours , minutes, or seconds and spin. If the attribute is not defined, all values are applied to the <duration> parameter. These values define what duration units shall be displayed. They have to be space-separated. For example: inputFormat = “days hours spin”. Please note: The use of the spin value provides the duration control with two arrows used to adjust the time span.

The pattern for <duration> element is PnYnMnDTnHnMnS, where nY represents the number of years, nM the number of months, nD the number of days, T is the date/time separator, nH the number of hours, nM the number of minutes, and nS the number of seconds.
