Filtering using time

Timestamp properties are available in many filter windows.
  1. Click the Filter button (Image) in any table view, such as the Alarm Console view.
    A Filter window opens.

    The example shows the attendance history Filter window.
  2. Click the selection box next to a general period of time for a Time drop-down list (Normal Time, Ack Time, etc.)
    This activates the property. The time options list offers preset periods (Today, Yesterday, Month-to-Date, and others).When you choose the Time Range, the system displays a clock button (Image).
  3. Choose a time option from the drop-down list.
  4. If you chose Time Range, click the clock icon.
    The system opens the Time Picker window on which to specify a range of time values.

    Notice that the Time Picker window has min and max properties for specifying a fixed filtering time range or for choosing an open-ended start and end time.
  5. To select a more specific range than the time options offered in the Time list, click the browser icon (>>) to open the Advanced Time Range Options window.
    The system opens the Advanced Time Range Options window and changes the browser icon to red.

     NOTE: Make sure that the inquiry you configure using the filter window and these advanced time range options makes sense. For example, if you select a specific date using the filter window, and then exclude that specific day by de-selecting it using the Days of Week properties in this window, the system responds with a message, Advanced Filtering too Strict
  6. Configure the properties in this window to set specific time ranges and days of week for filtering tables and reports.
  7. Configure the Schedule property to assign specific times to individual days and click Ok.
    Schedule works together to further restrict which records display.
