Why does my dossier not evaluate the whole period?

Short answer

A dossier evaluates at most 183 days. If you choose a longer period, Picasi takes the last 183 days of it and announces that in the create dialog.

Details

The notice reads:

The period spans n days. The last 183 days are evaluated, more does not fit into one analysis.

The limit has a reason of substance. A dossier is two pages long and should answer one question. Averaged over a whole year, exactly what a dossier is meant to show disappears: what has changed.

The default is 30 days. That is the period most templates are built for.

What you can do instead

  • Create several dossiers, one per quarter, and lay them side by side.
  • Take the change dossier. It sets the chosen period against the one before — the comparison then sits inside the document instead of in your filing.
  • Use the Matrix for longer series. It is built for developments over time.
