Date Range Limit for Reports Relaxed

In the past, the date range filters that could be applied to the reports available in the ‘Reports’ section of the Analytics console limited date ranges to 13 months.  This allowed organizations to report on a full year, plus an extra month so they could compare the last month in the report with the same month of the previous year.

This limit has now been relaxed to 60 months.  This allows organizations to add reports to their dashboards that cover a period of up to 5 years.

If the time interval of a report is updated from ‘Month’ to ‘Quarter’, the maximum date range becomes 20 quarters, or also 5 years.  When the interval ‘Week’ is selected, the maximum range is 60 weeks, and when the interval is set to ‘Day’ the maximum 90 days.

In views the date range restriction has been removed completely.  This makes it possible, for example, to open the ‘All Requests’ views in the records console and limit this view to the completed requests created from 2012 through 2019.
