vowdo jjgdtwbzc4lirmc docid 24ronsz2xx5tozdsakiq9 faq how do time ranges work in reporting? after selecting a date field on your job considerations to group them by (for example, grouping job considerations by the date they were started at), you’ll see a wide range of time range options to pull by some of these are dynamic, meaning that the report will update automatically as time moves forward (so, for example if you selected this week, the current week will always be displayed) some are static, meaning that the results will only be shown for the selected time frame (for example, if you selected to count job considerations and specified to only count those between 8/5/24 and 8/12/24 that meet your criteria, the data for the same week would be shown every time that report is visited) dynamic time frame examples this week, last week, this month, last month, this year, last year, in the last three months, in the next three months static time frame examples before x date, between x date and x date when selecting a date using the in the last picker, we'll show the date used for the report for example, if today is june 11, 2025, the picker will show june 10, 2025 if in the last 1 day is selected when selecting the in the next date picker and today is june 11, 2025, june 12, 2025 will show if in the next 1 day is specified what is the difference between time frames
