Why is this needed:
Sometimes you need to analyze a specific range of time and you know the precise time between events.
Examples:
Computer reboots at 6am every 6 days, it is known that the server takes 5 minutes to come back up online completely. You may want the time range to be from "5:55am" to "+15m" and the step to be "6d" in such a way that if you press Forward it will send you to the same range but 6 days ahead. and pressing Previous will send you 6 days earlier to the exact same range.
Analyzing solar power generation which happens from 6am to 19pm every day, buttons to allow stepping forward and back would make it easy to jump to the next day or previous day.
Analyzing the behavior of a network during 8h shifts, you can look at each shift, framed to its 8h frame using this: from = now/d+8h, to = now/d-8h, step = 8h, step multiplier = 1
Or you could see the 2h before, the shift, the 2h after, and cycle thru each cycle using forward and backward with: from = now/d+6h, to = now/d-6h, step = 8h, multiplier = 1
What would you like to be added:
A "Step" parameter that defaults to the span from the range and can be set to static units
A "Forward" button that adds the "Step" to both "from" and "to"
A "Backward" button that subtracts the "Step" to both "from" and "to"
Maybe a "Step Multiplier" that defaults to 1 and applies this to the "Step" value to be able to step by 0.5x the step instead of making full steps every time.
Who is this feature for?
This feature is for people that view data that has clearly defined cycles or periodic events.
