When does a trend add data to an ActiveList?

[radial1]

At what point does a trend add data to an activelist?  I have been testing a trend for the past few hours today but have so far not been able to get the data it locates to be added to the activelist.  If I right click the trend and choose "Data Viewer," the data the trend locates is present, however, it is never added to the activelist.

Also, is there any easy way to force a trend to run?

Hi there,

I believe the data should be added at the end of a Trend Run.

If I recall correctly, trying to add data via Refresh will at best, only add data from the most recent time selection in the Refresh cycle.

If you want to make the trend run sooner so you can see if changes you made worked, you can you just change the schedule to be 1 or 2 mins into the future (ie if its 11:42am, then set it to run on the hour at 44 minutes after).

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Ian.

 Thanks for the help!  As you mentioned, I changed the scheduled frquency to daily and set the time to 2 minutes in the future.  The trend successfully ran once the defined time was met.
