Creating Filters with Relative Dates

You can filter information in your view based on a date range relative to the current system date. You can accomplish this using date-based filters, and entering a text expression describing the relative date or date span you want to display, using the format <Keyword>+/-<Number> where:

  • Keyword indicates the time span you want to use. Options include: DAY, WEEK, MONTH, QUARTER, SEMI, and YEAR. An option used by itself (without +/-<Number>) gives the current value for that option.

  • or - indicates whether the time span occurs before or after the chosen date.

  • Number indicates the number of the above-mentioned time spans you want to include in the filter.

For example, if you want to see all of the CC Promise Grant Applications submitted during the prior week, your expression would be: WEEK-1.

...

The Filterscolumn is the right column panel in the Ad Hoc Editor. Any filters that were added when the Ad Hoc View template originally will appear in the Filters column. These filters can be revised or removed, and the operator for each filter can be changed.

A Filter can be created from any data field that is visible in the Ad Hoc Editor for use in your Ad Hoc View. Filters cannot be created using fields that are not visible in your Ad Hoc View.

In the screenshot to the right, the two filters displayed were added when the Ad Hoc View template was first created are based on “tstmp_submit” and “college_id”.

To add a new filter to your Ad Hoc View, right click on your selected field in the Data Field Selection panel and click on Create Filter from the context menu. The new filter will then be added to the Filters panel.

Once the new filter has been added to the Filters panel, open the Change Operator menu and select the appropriate operator that will be used to filter your data.

Info

Changing the operator in a filter will determine the data field values that can be filtered on. For example, in the “birthdate” field filter, if the operator is set to “equals” the user will have to enter a specific date in the text field when using the filter. This only display the results that match the date entered, exactly.

However, by changing the operator to “is on or after”, the filter will display all results where the “birthdate” is on or after the date entered.

Tip

Helpful Tip: When saving the details of your custom Ad Hoc View and corresponding Report, keep the names and descriptions the same - or very similar - so you can identify the pair if you want to update your report in the future. Remember that every report is based on its original View, and if you want to change your report you need to make the changes in the corresponding View, and then save the changes as a new report.
