Specify Date Ranges for Tasks and Reports

Several tasks require that you specify a date range—the time period that a report or a search request covers. For example, a report might cover “last month” or “this week”.

You can specify any date range of three months or less during the last year.

Specifying the Date Range

You have the following options to specify a date range:

• Select a date range from the drop-down menu. This option is commonly used for time periods such as today, the previous day, or the past week.

• Specify a custom date range. Choose the date and time in the From (beginning of the time period) and the To (end of the time period) fields. The default time is set to 00:00:00 (midnight) for the From value and 23:59:59 (one second before midnight of the next day, local time) for the To value.
