Tidsbaseret

Tidsbaseret is a term used in Danish and Norwegian to describe systems, policies, or processes that operate or are defined by time constraints, schedules, or time stamps. As a concept, tidsbaseret refers to decisions, access, or actions that depend on predefined time windows, durations, or deadlines rather than being purely event-driven or static.

In practice, tidsbaseret approaches are common in information technology and business contexts. Examples include time-based access control, where permissions are granted for a limited period; time-based licensing, which grants usage rights for a defined duration; and data governance rules that trigger retention, archiving, or deletion after a set time. Scheduling and automation rely on tidsbaserede logic to execute tasks at specific moments or on recurring intervals. Time-based analysis often uses timestamps and segmentation by time periods to derive insights.

Key considerations for implementing tidsbaseret systems include handling time zones and daylight saving time to maintain consistent behavior across regions, and ensuring reliable clock synchronization to prevent drift. Design should address potential clock tampering, such as local clock changes, and consider regulatory or contractual requirements related to retention windows and deadlines. User experience benefits from clear, unambiguous time windows and fail-safe defaults to avoid confusion or unintended access.

Examples of tidsbaseret use include a software trial lasting 30 days; content releases scheduled at fixed times; access to a resource allowed only during business hours; and data retention policies that automatically delete records after a defined period.
