About setting time frames in reports
Provides information about specifying the time frame in a report.
If your report has a Show time by drop-down list, you can specify the time frame as specific dates, relative dates, or as a period comparison.
You can set the following types of time frames in reports:
- You can set a time frame using specific start and end dates.
- You can set a date range and periodicity using relative dates.
The periodicity can be the same frequency or more frequent than the date range. For example, if you select the Latest Week date range, you can select a time period of daily or weekly, but you cannot select a monthly time period. Any saved report using relative dates always displays the selected date range and the latest date for which there is data.
- You can set a time frame that compares two time periods. Optionally, you can include a percent change column in the report that shows the differences between the two time periods as a percentage.
You can choose to always use the latest date for which there is data, or you can select a static end date for the report.
You must refresh the view with any new time frame settings you make.
