Timeflame option of the boxes- what are they for?

[cdt]

Hello. Can someone explain to me how the timeframe option of some boxes works.
example.

In the condition box we find a timeframe dropdown.
I thought that the EA could be placed in a timeframe of h1, and by configuring this box with timeframe m1, this prompt would take me values of m1. But I must be wrong, because when I do this, the EA doesn't work.
Can someone tell me how it is used and what it is for.
Thank you

some people use several time frames for their EA. Use an indi on a 1H for "trend" and then enter using candle on a 15m. for example.

@cdt It's exactly what jsauter86 said. You can get info from other timegrams and apply it on the current one.
