Manual Time Settings

What are Manual Time settings

When using Manual Time Settings, the start date and end date of the Insight query cannot be changed by user interaction at runtime.
Note that you can still create a moving time frame, see below.

This allows to make a pre-defined query to show users precisely the data you want to show.
You can still let users filter this data by time, but they cannot explore outside the pre-defined query.

*If you want to let users explore any time frame at runtime, use Parameter-Based Time Settings instead.

How to configure

Use the panel on the left to configure the Time settings for the query :

Moving time window

By default, the time range is a moving time window that ends now and starts some time ago depending on the Time Span.
You can set the Time Span by using the corresponding control.

Frozen time range

Instead, you can choose to freeze a time range : the data returned will always be between a pre-defined start date and end date.
You have the possibility to freeze the start date or the end date here by checking it like below the desired checkbox :

Then you can configure the Datetime from the text box or by clicking on the calendar

*Note :
If you select both, the interval option will be disabled
