When saving & scheduling a calculation, how do I specify the offset? For example, I can specify that I want the calculation to run every day, but how do I specify that I want it to run at 12pm every day?

    Hi Emily! 

    Currently we do not provide this functionality. 

    I think this is a great feature request! ​@Arun Arunachalam

      Emily,

      Maybe you can create and schedule a custom Python function to pull the data from CDF (let’s say a flowmeter), calculate what you need (a daily totalization that runs everyday at 12pm) and write the data back to CDF. To achieve this, you can create a new Time Series to store the data coming from the Python function and then add this TS to your chart. 

      It takes a bit of work, but it’s a way to get around this limitation.

      ​@alanjhones thank you for sharing this knowledge! Unfortunately, I think this would be a barrier to many of our users who are looking for a no-code solution.
