Setting Filter Formats

Filters Format of QIQ Filter Properties enables you to specify a format for date filters in the dashboard.

*  To specify filter formats:

  1. In Interactive Reporting Studio, navigate to QIQ Filter Properties.

    To access the configuration frame, use Sections or the Configuration drop-down list found in Dashboard Studio.

  2. Select a format.

    Date formats must be entered using the format, y = year, m = month, d = day, H = hour, M = minute, and S = second. Apart from separators, no other alphanumeric characters are accepted. Separators must be included between date elements. For example, mmddyy is not a valid format.

    Date filters cannot include “>” as part of the name, because the character is used as a separator by Dashboard Studio, and if used, an error is generated.

    A list of all date filters in the dashboard is displayed in Date Filters.

  3. Select a date filter, and click Next button to assign a format to the filter.

  4. Click Set Formats.

    Formats specified in QIQ Filter Properties take precedence over the default format specified in Step 7: Configure Properties.
