The Range Filter dashboard item allows you to add a number of predefined date-time periods that can be used to perform a selection (for instance, year-to-date or quarter-to-date).

Add Predefined Ranges

To add a predefined range, open the Range Filter’s Options menu, go to the Custom Periods section, and click “+”.

Boundaries Settings

You can specify the following settings for the start/end boundaries.

Caption

Specifies a custom periods caption.

Start Mode

Specifies the start boundary mode.

End Mode

Specifies the end boundary mode.

Boundaries Modes

The following modes are available for the start and end boundaries:

None

The selection begins from the start/end of the visible range.

Fixed

Allows you to select a specific date value using the calendar. Use the Start/End Date option to set a value.

Flow

Allows you to select a relative date value. The Interval option specifies the interval between the current date and the required date. The Offset option allows you to set the number of such intervals. The Offset option can accept negative and positive values. Negative values correspond to dates before the current date, while positive values correspond to future dates.

Review the following examples of custom period set up.

Fixed Custom Periods Examples

Name	Settings
2018	Start Point Mode: Fixed Start Date: 01/01/2018 End Point Mode: Fixed End Date: 12/31/2018
Q1 2017	Start Point Mode: Fixed Start Date: 01/01/2017 End Point Mode: Fixed End Date: 03/31/2018

Flow Custom Periods Examples

Name	Settings
6 Months	Start Point Mode: Flow Interval: Month Offset: -5 End Point Mode: None
Year to date	Start Point Mode: Flow Interval: Year Offset: 0 End Point Mode: Flow Interval: Day Offset: 0
Last Month	Start Point Mode: Flow Interval: Month Offset: -1 End Point Mode: Flow Interval: Month Offset: 0

If you set both start and end intervals with Flow Mode and 0 Offset configuration, the system subtracts 1 millisecond from the calculated end date to create a Start Point. This adjustment ensures that the Start Point is always strictly less than the End Point according to the selected end interval (year, month, week, and so on).
