Fields

Field	Description
Instance Number	Legal values: 0 through 999 The instance number is used to create a uniqueness, as several processing instructions with different validities can be defined for the same folder.
Time Interval/ Start Date for Time Interval	Enter a suitable time interval in order to group the data that belongs together into units. This serves the following purposes: The quantity of the data to be scanned is limited for the global index search (Option G). During the archival, the units belonging together are archived (currently not available) The start date determines the time when the creation of a new unit should be begun. Example: Global index searches of this index are based on a quarter of a year. Enter the value 3 Months as time interval, and the value, for example 01.04.2008 as start date. The global indexes are then combined into quarterly units. In order to carry out a global index search over a quarter, only one unit, which solely contains data for this quarter, must then be scanned.
Layout	The query mask that is defined under the specified layout name is to be used for this folder for the global index search under option G (required).
Definition valid from/to	Period in which this processing instruction is valid. Only one processing instruction can be active at a time.
