  • Date the feature disappeared - field containing the date when the feature stopped existing;

  • Date the feature appeared - field containing the date when the feature started existing;

  • The start year of the interval - name for the ‘year1’ field (the field will be created);

  • The end year of the interval - name for the ‘year2’ field (the field will be created);

  • Output format - enter one of the following: GeoJSON, GPKG, CSV, ESRI Shapefile. ESRI Shapefile is the default;

  • Ignore errors - Leave empty to stop execution if an empty time slice is found. Enter 1 to ignore time slices with no features (ignore errors).
