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.

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 would display only the results that match thaHowever, by changing the operator in the “birthdate” field to “is on or after” - the filter displays a calendar widget for a specific date to be selected that would filter (display) all birthdates that are on or after the date selected.
