Timeframe Presets
Preset time periods are predefined intervals commonly used in the timeframes selection feature. These presets enable you to quickly and conveniently select a specific time period without the need to manually enter dates.
Some examples of common preset time periods include:
- Today: The current day.
- Yesterday: The previous day.
- Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, and Last 12 Months: Previous days or months starting from yesterday.
- Month to Date: The current month up to yesterday.
- Last Month: The previous month.
- Year to Date: The current year up to yesterday.
To ensure accurate data comparison, when selecting Last XX Days or XX to Date, the current day is excluded.
If you want to include the current day in the presets, you can edit your profile settings and select the option.
