Filtering Data by Time Period

You can filter the data that is shown on the Home page using the date range settings at the top of the page. The selected time period applies to all widgets for which no customized time period has been defined. For more information on setting widget-specific time periods, see Managing Widgets.

The date toolbar has different ways of selecting dates.  

1. From/to dates. You can change the date range by either entering the dates or using the calendars for each selection and then clicking the Apply Dates button .If you enter the dates manually, you can move from one date field to the next using the Tab key. Once you have entered both dates, you can press Enter to apply the entered dates. The value shown in the dropdown list changes to "Exact Dates" once the From/to dates have been applied.
2. Select a date range from the dropdown. Note that "Exact Dates" cannot be selected from the list; this is automatically selected when From/to dates are applied.
3. Click the quick buttons on the end of the bar. These are for Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month and Last Month.

The date ranges available in the dropdown list can also include Fiscal/Reporting periods configured by your Company Administrator. They are shown in the Periods section:

 Reporting periods provide a more flexible way to filter grid data. Reporting periods can be defined on the Admin > Setup > Reporting Periods page. For more information, see Reporting Periods.
