Widget Date Overwrite

Why is this functionality useful?

Managing date ranges widget by widget can be time-consuming, especially in reports containing multiple visualizations and data components.

With Widget Date Overwrite, users can:

• Update all supported widgets in a report at once
• Quickly align reports to a specific monitoring period
• Standardize the displayed timeframe across widgets
• Reduce manual configuration effort
• Generate reports for past monitoring periods by applying a custom date range, regardless of the actual date when the report is created or exported

Feature Highlights

• Bulk overwrite of widget date ranges
• Supports predefined time shortcuts and custom date selections
• Applies changes to all compatible widgets in the report
• Displays a confirmation warning before applying permanent changes

How does it work?

1. Opening the Widget Date Overwrite Tool

1. Open a report teplate.
2. Click the Date Override button
   
3. A modal window will appear.
   

2. Selecting the Date Range

Inside the modal, users can:
