# Report Description

The Rationed Flow Summary report compares flow rates with and without rationing. It is similar to the Flow Summary Report but it is generated for a specific rationing period and it shows both the rationed and the unrationed flow rate through each regulator at the specified intervals for the given rationing period in the specified area/group.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Orders are dealt with in the order of their start times. Once the rationed volume is exhausted, no further orders are considered. The rationing process performed by this report will not change any existing orders.

# Report Parameters and Options

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| **Parameter** | **Description** |
| Area/Group | Name of the area or group. |
| Start/End Date | Start and end date of the rationing period. |
| Cycle Length | Number of days in the rationing period cycle. |
| Cycle Type | Whether the cycle is *Fixed* or *Rolling*. |
| Start Time | The report lists the flow at fixed points during the day. The time of the first reported flow data point each day is given by this parameter and the interval between flow data points is given by the Change Interval. |
| Change Interval | This specifies in hours how frequently the flow is reported each day. For example, if the start time is 00:00 and the change interval is 12 hours, the flow is reported at 00:00 and 12:00 each day. |

# Report Output
