Customizing the Predefined Date Ranges

You can customize the Predefined Date Ranges that Siebel CRM Desktop uses for the filters that it displays in the Value drop-down list in the CRM Desktop Filter - Edit Criterion dialog box.

To customize the predefined date ranges

1. Use an XML editor to open the connector_configuration.xml file.

2. Locate the sliding_dates_presets tag.

3. Change the value for a preset name.

   The following code comes predefined with Siebel CRM Desktop. To change a predefined date range, you change the number that the value attribute contains:

   <sliding_dates_presets exact_date="#sliding_dates_exact" 
   relative="#sliding_dates_from_today">
     <preset name="#sliding_dates_yesterday">
       <value>-1</value>
     </preset>
     <preset name="#sliding_dates_tomorrow">
       <value>1</value>
     </preset>
     <preset name="#sliding_dates_month_ago">
       <value>-30</value>
     </preset>
     <preset name="#sliding_dates_month_ahead">
       <value>30</value>
     </preset>
     <preset name="#sliding_dates_today">
       <value>0</value>
     </preset>
   </sliding_dates_presets>
   

4. Change the corresponding resources in the package_res.xml file.
