• Equal Tick (Equi-Tick)

• Minute

• Multi-Day

• Daily

• Weekly

• Monthly

• Quarterly

• Yearly

Depending on the width you choose, the length field's label changes. For example, if you choose Minute, the length field’s label changes to 'Minutes', as shown in the figure above. Similarly, if you choose Multi-Day, the label changes to 'Day'
