A description of the period that you define. When you select a period, the program fills in this field automatically with normal text and system values that correspond to the period that you select. The text and values are returned at run time when you access and use a period template. The system values are as follows: %1 (the name of the starting day), %2 (the name of the ending day), %3 (the number of the starting week), %4 (the number of the ending week), %5 (the name of the starting month), %6 (the name of the ending month), %7 (the name of the starting year (calendar year)), and %8 (the name of the ending year (calendar year)). For example, you select Day in the Period field, enter 3 in the Number of periods field, and do not select the Create lines option. The Period description field displays the following information: Days %1 - %2. If the current weekday is Monday, the Period description field displays the following information at run time: Days Monday - Wednesday.
