German term or phrase: Erfassungszeitraum eingrenzen
It's about a software manual. What would you say for "Erfassungszeitraum eingrenzen"? It's in a list of tasks which you can do.

My suggestion: limit creation period

Would that be okay? Or better: acquisition period?
Thanks a lot!

depending on context (type of program) you might wish to specify:
data acquisition period

Eurodicautom gives:
\"period of survey\",
but this, again, is for a quite specific context.
