All activities in this Period option is selected, the activity is counted in all periods that it spans.
- If the
Activities that start in this Period option is selected, the activity is only counted in the period in which it starts, even if it spans multiple periods.

Prorating affects how the Phase Analyzer views the activities. If
Prorating is
On, the Phase Analyzer on the S2 // Diagnostics tab takes time periods into account when it analyzes activities. If
Prorating is
Off, the Phase Analyzer ignores time periods when it analyzes activities.
