When for example using an Analysis Report in a Dashboard and wanting to always show the information for today, without the need to make any manual change of the date even when the dashboard is open and used continuously for many days, it can be very useful to filter on a relative date.
This is done by:
1. Open an already existing Visits Analysis report, or create a new one.
2. Under the report name click (Show/Hide Filters). A workspace for filters appears at the top of the report.
3. Click and drag the Day field/column into the filter workspace. The Filter on Day dialog box appears:
Here, you can either select a specific time period or for example Today.
(Show/Hide Filters). A workspace for filters appears at the top of the report.
