Time


The time filter enables users to filter data by selecting a specific time.

Configure the time filter by following these steps:

  1. From the Unit list, select the granularity of time that can be specified by the dashboard user. For example, the unit Month means that the user can only select entire months such as Jan, Feb.

  2. If you want to use the current browser date and time as the default value, select the Default Time checkbox.

    Note

    Not applicable to global filters

  3. If you want to convert time data to the UTC of users’ timezone, select the UTC checkbox.

    Note

    It is not recommended to enable this function if you use built-in data sources.

  4. If you want to expand the filtering time value into an equivalent time range, select the Convert Time Range checkbox.

    Note

    If you have selected Convert Time Range, select the corresponding condition to satisfy each selected data field.

  5. In Linked Data Fields, for each selected data field, select the corresponding condition to satisfy.

Note

Enabling Convert Time Range will achieve a finer granularity. For example, if the unit Month is selected and the user selects July, then the time value will be expanded into a time range, namely 01 July to 31 July.
