The Filter-Date Range widget allows the user to select parameter values and filter the report output for reporting widgets (e.g., EZView, Traffic Light, Traffic Light Map, Time Series Chart, Map, Boring Log, and Data Grid) on the dashboard. See the Dashboard Filter Widgets article for more information on filter functionality, limitations, and interactions with other widgets.
The Filter-Date Range widget has two display modes:
1.Display as Date Choosers will have a start date and end date input to select a custom date range for the report. In other words, set the START_DATE and END_DATE report parameters, if they exist.
Note: The last option in the drop-down list is "Custom Picker", which allows a user to select a custom date range. All other options will automatically populate a date range based on the selection. When selecting "Custom Picker" the user will need to manually enter a start date (left date box) and end date (right date box) into the date boxes displayed above the calendar. |

2.Display as Year Drop-down List will have a list of recent years that can be selected. When selecting a year, the start date parameter is set with the first day of that year. The end date parameter is set to the last day of that year.
