   Enter a value for the duration of the period or select a value by clicking on the arrows in the input field.
   Select the unit of the period: Minute, hour, day, week, month or year.

6. Start time (relative to query time)
   Define the starting point of the period relative to the current date by specifying the unit of the distance to the current time: Minute, hour, day, week, month or year.
   Specify whether the starting point is in the past or the future starting from the current date. With a negative value you specify a start time in the future, with a positive value a start time in the past.

   Specify the start time of the next period.
   "Starts at the beginning of the selected start time" starts the next period when the defined start time has been reached.
   "Starts immediately after the last period (e.g., with shift operation)" starts the next period at the end of the previous period.
