Change Report Date and Time

You can change the time frame of both newly created and saved reports. The time frame can be either relative or fixed. The following table describes these two types of time frames:

Time frame

Description

Fixed

Specific dates that do not change if you run the report at another time.  For example, if you select from Monday, June 10, 2002 from at 00:00 to Monday June 10, 2002 23:59 as the fixed time span, you view data from this time range.  If you save the report definition and run the report again the next day, you still view data for  Monday, June 10 from 00:00 to 23:59.  

Relative

Time frames relative to the date that you create the report.  For example, if you create a report on a Monday and select "Today" as the time span, you view data for Monday.  If you save the report definition and run the report again on Tuesday, you view data for Tuesday.
