CupixWorks 5.0 — this article is still being finished. Screenshots marked to be replaced show the right screens and will be retaken before launch. Taken from a build where some on-screen labels had not been translated yet.
Point or a window
The 4D row offers a single instant or a span, and the difference is visible on the Gantt without reading anything.
| Setting | What it means | What the Gantt shows |
|---|---|---|
| Off | No date applied. The model is drawn plainly. | No band. The Current Capture line stays. |
| Point | A single date. The chip beside it reads As of <date>. | A single dashed line at that date. |
| 1w / 2w / 4w | A window of that length. | A shaded band of that width. |
| Custom | A window you define. | A shaded band of the length you set. |
Reading the window chip
The chip to the right of the 4D row always reads back the window in force — its length and its two dates, for example 1w · Oct 2 → Oct 8. When the window is longer than a preset it still reports the length: a four-week window reads 4w · Oct 2 → Oct 29 even though it was set through Custom rather than by clicking 4w.
Custom — a length, or two dates
Custom opens a small panel with two choices, and only one of them is active at a time.
| Choice | What you set |
|---|---|
| Duration | A number and a unit — for example 4 Weeks. The window keeps that length and you move it along the timeline. |
| Exact dates | A start and an end date, typed or picked. |
The panel says how to move a Duration window: “Click the timeline to move the start point. The window keeps this length.” So a duration is a ruler you slide, and exact dates are a span you pin.
DATE SCALE is not the window
DATE SCALE + / − at the right of the panel zooms the Gantt's own time axis — it makes the week columns wider or narrower so you can see more or less of the programme. It does not change which dates the model is drawn for. Those are two separate controls that both look like time controls, and this is the sentence to keep.
The Current Capture line
A dashed line labelled Current Capture marks where the capture you are looking at sits on the programme. It stays put when the 4D window moves, which is the point of it: it is the fixed reference the window is being compared against.
