# Widget Date Overwrite
## This functionality allows users to apply a date/time range in bulk across all widgets within a report. This feature is designed to reduce manual configuration preparing reports for a specific monitoring period.
### 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

- Applies changes to all compatible widgets in the report
- Displays a confirmation warning before applying permanent changes
