Configuring the Global Timeline for widget data​

By default, all the widgets in the dashboard show data from the current day. This means that the default timeline for all the widgets is selected as Today. You can set the timeline for the widget data as per your requirement and even set a custom timeline for viewing the corresponding widget data.

You can configure this timeline for all the widgets in the dashboard from one place.

By default, you are able to view the current days's data for all the widgets on the dashboard. Now, you want to view the data from the last 24 hours. You can do so by changing the global timeline.

Select present above your dashboard to change the timeline for all the widget data. A list of possible timelines for widget data is displayed in the drop-down.

Select Last 24 Hours to display the widget data for the last 24 hours. Similarly, you can select any time as per your requirement.

You can even set a custom timeline for the widget data. Select Custom from the dropdown to set a custom timeline. The following pop-up is now displayed to set the custom timeline.

Here, you can see that we have set a custom timeline for widget data starting from 10:00 AM, 18th January upto 10:00 AM, 22nd January. This means that all the widgets in the dashboard will show data from 10:00 AM, 18th January to 10:00 AM, 22nd January.
