The System Plan Snapshots module is where you can set system wide snapshot points for flow histograms.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Set snapshot points for individual plans in the plan's Snapshot Parameters tab.

# What is a Plan Snapshot?

A Plan Snapshot is a flow value at a fixed time relative to the start of the current day. For example, a snapshot point at -12 hrs displays the flow at 12 midday yesterday.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Snapshot points are relative to the current day, not necessarily to the plan day.

View Plan Snapshots in the Flow Histogram which you can open from the Planning Schematic. Click View Snapshot Flow Values in the Histogram toolbar to show the snapshot table.

## Layout of the System Plan Snapshots Module

# Adjusting the Flow Snapshot Points

In flow histograms, you can view a table of the flow values at standard times during the plan period. Click **View Snapshot Flow Values** in the Histogram toolbar to show this table. You can adjust the timing of those snapshot values.

## Change the flow snapshot points:

1. To create default snapshot points use the System Plan Snapshots module. To create custom points, open the Snapshot Parameters tab for the plan.
2. Select a point and click **Delete** to remove it, or click **Insert** to add new points. Points are given relative to 00:00 hours on the current day.

> ℹ️ **Example**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Set a snapshot at 12 hours to give the flow at 12 midday on the current day.
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Set a snapshot at -12 hours to give the flow at 12 midday on the previous day.
