Storage bucket profile

If ever the Storage Bucket Profile says that the data is saved in weekly buckets, we can still view the data in
monthly,yearly, weeekly (or combinations of such) bucketsin Interactive Planning by by defining a planning bucket
profile.

There is one watchout/limitatation: "The granularity of the planning bucket profile can not be greater than the
granularity of the data in the Storage Bucket Profile".
Thus, if your storage bucket profile says that the data should be saved in monthly buckets only, then you can NOT
view the data in weekly buckets (i.e. you can NOT configure the planning buckets profile to use weekly buckets). You
can only view the data in monthly, yearly buckets or any bucket size >= monthly.

The difference between Storage Bucket profile (also mentioned Peridocity) and Time Bucket profile is fundamental
and important. The storage bucket profile is assigned to a planning area - defining the lowest time bucket for which
data will be stored in liveCache.
On the other hand Time Bucket Profile is how data will be displayed (time buckets) in Interactive Planning. Time
Bucket Profile therefore is associated with the data views.
So the time bucket profile can be granular only upto the storage bucket profile i.e. if storage bucket profile is in
weeks, then you can not have a time bucket profile (to diaply data in interactive planning) in days. The lowest time
bucket you can display the data will be in Weeks.
