Is there a way, in DataMiner, of representing a time span, in a user-friendly way, that can range from a few milliseconds to days and anything in between?
I have used, in the past, the measurement type option ‘time’ to do similar things. However, it is only able to represent up to the precision of a single second.
In the help, it even states that the decimal part is ignored
If, for example, you specify the following, the value “123.456” will be displayed as “02m 03s”. Decimals are ignored.
Is there a way of representing such values with a similar parameter option? Or is it preferable to use a string parameter in combination with the .ToString method of C# TimeSpan and a standard or custom format?
Hi, this is currently not possible to have a numeric parameter that displays it in a user friendly way with the milliseconds part included. Similar tasks for this feature exist: task 65997 for the time option, task 139584 for the datetime option.
The only thing that can be done to display it at this moment is by using a string like you suggest, but the downside is that the displayed value is not going to adapt to the datetime format of the client that will be looking at that value.
