Starting Day Option 

The Starting Day option appears on the Draw Graphs dialog box.

Use this option to change the start date of the display interval.

Clicking a scroll arrow moves the time 1 day; clicking the shaded bar
moves the time 1 week; dragging the scroll box moves to any day in the
logfile.  If Ignore Weekends is checked, weekends are skipped when you
adjust the start date.


          Figure 10-71.  Starting Day Option 

If you choose Last, the last complete period in the logfile appears.  If
you choose a day other than Last, the date replaces Last and becomes the
starting day (the left-most entry) for the period displayed.  The date is
shown in the dialog box.


          Figure 10-72.  Starting Day Option with Scroll Date 

When you use the horizontal scroll bar on the graph to look at a
different time period in the logfile, you change the setting for Starting
Day in the Draw Graphs dialog box.

Relative and Absolute Dates 

When you record a macro, you must be careful about how you change the
date--it makes a difference whether you click or drag:

   *   Clicking.

       As long as you click on the Starting Day arrow or in the shaded
       bar, the macro facility keeps the date relative to the last day in
       the logfile.

   *   Dragging.

       If you click on and drag the scroll bar for the starting day, the
       macro facility will keep the date as an absolute date rather than
       a relative date.

If you use some combination of clicking and dragging, the last movement
made determines whether the date is relative or absolute.  That is, if
you click on the arrow several times then click on and drag the scroll
bar, the date selected will be absolute.

Also note that Last is always relative.
