Stage end rules wizard : Duration

In this step, you need to specify how long the situation you chose in the previous step has to last. For example, if you specified that the animal has to remain in a zone for certain amount of time, then you should enter the amount of time here.

The value you enter can use any of the units: d (days), h (hours), min or m (minutes), or s (seconds). You can mix units and also specify decimal values. So, for example, the period of eight and a half minutes could be entered as '8.5min' or as '8min 30s'. If you don't specify any units, then seconds will be assumed.

You can enter any value from 1 second to 24 hours.
