Date Range

At the lower left corner of all custom views you will find the date selector list. You can use this list to quickly filter your rows by a date range. This is much like native ACT's date-range selector in the Task List but with a little more power. Our date range selector allows you to select which date field you want to filter. By default the date is the "Created Date" field but you may want to filter on your own custom field like "Project Start Date" or  the "Sold Date" from the Automobile demo table. Here are the steps to filter by the "SoldDate";

  1. Right-click on the list to access the Pop-up menu.
  2. From this menu select SELECT DATE FIELD.
  3. From this sub popup menu select SoldDate.
        

With your new setting, try selecting a different date range from the list. Remember that you are now filtered on that date field and if you have not entered any dates in any record then no record will match and your list will be empty.
