Which functionality does the Force Storage Period specifically relate to?

The Force Storage Period specifically relates to ensuring that interval values are consistently recorded and stored in the database, regardless of whether there have been any changes in the data during that time. This functionality is important for maintaining a complete historical record, allowing users to analyze trends and patterns in the data without gaps that might occur when data changes infrequently.

By guaranteeing that interval values are stored according to the defined storage period, it ensures that users have access to necessary historical data for accurate reporting and analysis. This can be critically important in industries where continuous monitoring and evaluation of data over specific periods is essential for operations, compliance, or decision-making.

Other functionalities, such as those related to the minimum time values, caching duration, or the speed of data updates, do not address the core purpose of the Force Storage Period, which is focused solely on storing interval data consistently.
