Handling activity with partial information

The Activity View needs temporal data that includes dates and times. You can configure the behavior for properties that contain a date but no time or a time with no date.

About this task

If the date and time information is contained in separate properties, Analyst's Notebook can recognize the properties as a combined date and time pair. To recognize them as a pair, the properties must be assigned the semantic types Event Start Date and Event Start Time, or Event End Date and Event End Time.
