Close Gaps

In case logged data contains (little) gaps that should be closed by the existing Events, instead of adding new Events with Codes into those gaps, there are two possible options:

Manual Correction

If the gaps are not systematic and need to be verified, there is no way around the manual correction of the various Start and End time values as described in Drag & Drop Time Codes.

Automated Correction

Suppose you want to log mutually exclusive Events but for some reason, there are small gaps between the Events, like this:

ClosTimeGapsExampleList

To close all gaps automatically, use the command > Erstelle Ereignisse basierend auf 'start'_'stop' Codes.

Note: This command will create a new document, leaving the original file untouched.

ClosTimeGapsDialog

The dialog offers settings to tell INTERACT how exactly the gaps should be closed:

oExtend end times - When the start time is correct, use this option. The end time of the preceding Event will be extended to close the gap. Looking at the values in the example table, the first Event end time will be changed to 00:00:01:06 and so on.

oMiddle time between Events - For larger gaps, this option can be useful. It will extend both start and end times to fill the gap.

ClosTimeGapsExampleList-Option2

oAdvance start times - When the end time is correct, use this option. The start time of the succeeding Event will be extended to close the gap. Looking at the values in the example table, the second Event's start time will be changed to 00:00:01:05 and so on.

ClosTimeGapsExampleList-Option3

There is even an option to exclude intentional Gaps:

Maximum Gap duration - Specify the maximum gap width that should be closed automatically.

Additional options on what data to handle and how to proceed:

oExamineElements

Legt fest, ob alle Zeilen im aktuellen Modul verwendet werden oder nur die ausgewählten Zeilen (die mit einem grünen Punkt davor):

oAll: Dieses Modul verwendet alle Daten, bestehende Ereignisse und neue Zeilen, die von den vorherigen Workflow-Modulen erstellt wurden.

oMarkedOnly: Dieses Modul verwendet nur die aktuell markierten Ereignisse.

oNotMarkedOnly: Dieses Modul verwendet nur die derzeit NICHT ausgewählten Ereignisse.

oForwardMarkedOnly

Legt fest, ob alle Zeilen an das nächste Modul übergeben werden, oder nur die momentan ausgewählten Zeilen (die mit einem grünen Punkt davor):

oFalse verwendet alle Zeilen, unabhängig von der Auswahl.

oTrue verwendet nur ausgewählte Zeilen, es sei denn, es sind keine Zeilen ausgewählt, dann werden alle Zeilen verwendet.
