InetSoft Documentation: Dashboard Date Range

Users can filter large data sets by date range using InetSoft's award-winning dashboard software - a comprehensive real-time analytical reporting solution that has been used across several industries worldwide.

View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

You can define two different kinds of date range, described in the following sections:

  • A sliding date range is an interval of dates defined relative to the current date, for example, “this week,” “last month,” or “last November.” The actual calendar dates included in the range are automatically computed at runtime.
  • A fixed date range is a range of dates defined by fixed beginning and end dates.

Date ranges are used together with the 'in range' filtering condition, which is available only for Date fields. Worksheets also provide a wide range of built-in date ranges.
