        Parameters:
        id - Unique id for inter-element referencing

      • extension

        public Period.Builder extension​(Extension... extension)
        May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

        Adds new element(s) to the existing list

        Overrides:
        extension in class Element.Builder
        Parameters:
        extension - Additional content defined by implementations
        Returns:
        A reference to this Builder instance

      • extension

        public Period.Builder extension​(Collection<Extension> extension)
        May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

        Replaces the existing list with a new one containing elements from the Collection

        Overrides:
        extension in class Element.Builder
        Parameters:
        extension - Additional content defined by implementations
        Returns:
        A reference to this Builder instance

      • start

        public Period.Builder start​(DateTime start)
        The start of the period. The boundary is inclusive.
        Parameters:
        start - Starting time with inclusive boundary
        Returns:
        A reference to this Builder instance

      • end

        public Period.Builder end​(DateTime end)
        The end of the period. If the end of the period is missing, it means no end was known or planned at the time the instance was created. The start may be in the past, and the end date in the future, which means that period is expected/planned to end at that time.
        Parameters:
        end - End time with inclusive boundary, if not ongoing
        Returns:
        A reference to this Builder instance
