The function Calculate (Mass time calculation) allows recalculating large parts of the TiCon database (completely or partially using the search). MTM analyses, Formulas, MTM-1® analyses and MTM-2® analyses are considered.
Während der Arbeit mit TiCon werden Zeitänderungen an Basisdaten in alle Verwendungen automatisch nachgeführt (z. B. Änderung von Zuschlägen).
Possible reasons for executing a mass time calculation:
•Program crash during time update or
•Änderungen von Zeiten über die Datenbank, z. B. durch den MTM-Support.
The recalculation of the times is a computationally intensive process that can take a considerable time.
The administrator has the possibility to influence the computing amount by specific search parameters.

Search
The database is searched for elements that correspond to the given criteria. The same search criteria as in the advanced search are available.
Number of levels to be calculated
Elements in TiCon are organized hierarchically. If elements are to be calculated just to a particular level, the number of the levels to be calculated has to be selected correspondingly.
In order to assure a complete calculation of all data, make sure to leave the field disabled.
Create journal entry
If this check box is enabled, a journal entry is generated for elements whenever their time has changed during the calculation.
