Split time trace window

Introduction

This window lets you split a single time trace into two new time traces.  See the Split time trace help page for more information on splitting time traces.

The window is divided in three parts; an overview of the first time trace to split off, an overview of the second time trace to split off, and the date/time to use to split the time trace at (the "split point").

The time halfway the time trace will initially be selected as the time to split the time trace.  You can alter this by modifying the time and/or date in the "Split point" part of the window.  When you alter the split point, the time periods in the first- and second time trace overviews will reflect this.

If you want to alter the activity of the first or second time trace, then you can choose the correct activity from the drop down lists in the time trace overviews.
