Archive menu access

Each function detailed description identifies the menu path to be used to start the corresponding window.
For the Archive access, the Application / ATFCM part of the path shall be replaced by Application / Archive.
Immediate shortcuts are not applicable to the Archive access.

Archive dates

While the ATFCM option gives access to the Tactical (today) and the Pre-Tactical (tomorrow) operational data, the Archive gives access back to 15 months in the past.
Tactical operational data are archived daily.
Once started, the content of the title bar allows identifying the start up mode.
Each windows' title bar includes the selected target application environment (ATFCM, Archive or Predict Access).
When talking about dates, the main help text refers to Tactical (today) and Pre-Tactical (tomorrow) dates. This is in fact the original purpose of this application.
When a window is opened from the Archive Access menu, you must be aware that the proposed dates are within 15 months in the past based on your preferences (today-1, today-2, ...). To avoid unnecessary complexity just for this specific usage, this has not been reflected in the detailed description text of each ATFCM function.
The list of selectable dates and the date proiposed by default shall be adjusted in the Preference dialog.
Following user preference shall be adjusted to modify the list of proposed dates :

The default archive dates proposed are always relative to the current date.
For example, if you adjust your preferences to display last week only, even on the following days, the dates proposed for last week will always be relative to the current date on opening a new window.
When Default date proposed for query is set to Last used, the date proposed by default is always the same relative date as the one you have used for your last query. (for example : if you always query a date one month in the past, you will always be prompted with the date corresponding to one month in the past.)
When Default date proposed for query is set to Current, the date proposed by default is always the most recent date in the list of available dates.
The Archive date selection is highlighted by a specific background color.
This color shall be identified using the following user preference :
