Filter Date Ranges

You can use runtime filters to select a date range.

Most standard reports include runtime filters created from date/time fields that let you select a time and date range on which to filter the report’s data. Date ranges between January 1, 1901 and January 17, 2038 are supported. Which records are included in the time period depend on the type of report. For example, the Incident Activity report includes the Date Created runtime filter, which you can use to display incidents created during a particular date range.

You have several options when selecting a date range. For example, you can select whether you want to use exact dates, a period of time relative to today’s date, or even the current time. When the Relative check box is cleared, you can type in a specific date and time, or click the calendar next to the date and time to view a calendar and select a specific date. By selecting the Relative check box, you can define relative times to search on, such as the previous three months, instead of absolute times.

Note: The Time Zone report option can be used to change the time zone reflected in the dates and times shown in a report’s filters and output columns. By default, the time zone of the interface is used. See Change Report Properties.
