# Load Fixed Time Period Runs

**Purpose:** Learn to view data for pre-defined time periods in a [Trend](/v1/docs/trend).

**Task:** Use the Trend’s Run Browser to compare the last five “runs” of a specific type of pre-defined time period for a single tag.

**Steps:**

1. Create a Trend with at least one tag.
2. Right-click the plot area of the Trend and choose **Run Browser**.

3. On the **Run Filter** tab, select **Multiple Runs for Process and Period** as the time period source. The Location / Process Period Type and Filter Runs By sections will appear. Also, the Location and Process fields are pre-populated based on the properties of the first tag in the Trend. If the selected process is grade-based, the Grade Filter section will also appear.

4. Set the **Period Type** to a pre-defined time period. There are two types of pre-defined time periods: implicit and custom. Implicit time periods are not arbitrary and include Hour, Day, Week (Monday), Week (Sunday), Month, Quarter, and Year. Custom time periods are user-defined and include, but are not limited to, Week, Production Day, Production Week, Production Month, Fiscal Month, Fiscal Quarter, and Fiscal Year. Common examples of user-created time periods are crew or shift schedules. Time periods are configured in [Time Periods](/v1/docs/interface-time-periods).

5. If the tag belongs to a grade-based process area, set the grade filter to “All Grades”. This will effectively ignore grades will filtering for time periods.
