Pulse alerts allow configuration for data thresholds during a certain period of time. This article explains how we calculate each of the periods available for selection when creating or editing an alert.
When creating or editing a Pulse alert, most alert types allow the selection of a threshold value during a time period.
The time periods available are calculated as described in the table below.
Tip: Consider the difference between the current and last x days periods - the difference between the two will significantly change the relevance of your alerts.
| Current week | Most recent Monday through to the next Sunday |
| Current fortnight | The current week (as above) and the week prior |
| Current month | The current calendar month |
| Current semester | The current scheduled semester |
| Last 7 days | Today and the six days prior |
| Last 14 days | Today and the thirteen days prior |
| Last 30 days | Today and the twenty-nine days prior |
| Previous semester | The semester prior to the current scheduled semester |
