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. |
To change the report date and time
On an open report window, click the Date/Time menu option. The Change Report Date and Time page opens.
Click the radio button next to either Relative date and time range or Fixed date and time range, depending on your needs.
Select the date and time range, as follows:
If you want to select a relative time span, open the Relative Time Span drop down menu and select the time span.
If you want to select a fixed date range, change the From and To dates from the calendars. Select the hour and minute time entries by clicking the respective down arrows and selecting the desired hours and minutes.
Note: If you are viewing data for the same day that you run the report and leave the To time field set to 23:59, the report displays data up to the current time.
Click the Save changes and return to report link to view the modified report.
Save the report definition to save your changes.
