Configuring behaviour

Range Selection

The DatePicker can be configured to allow range selection.

Configure the Selection Type to Range :

The calendar can now show two pages at the same time, to make it easier to select a Start Date and an End Date :

Time Selection

The Date Picker can be configured to allow time selection in addition to date.

*If you configure Time selection with Single selection, the filter will try to match only the data that has the exact same minute.
This usually gives no result, and you may want instead to use the Range selection with Time.

Enable Time selection

Select Enable Time Value :

At runtime, this adds a time selector (or two, if Range is configured) :

Configure available times

By default, the time selector shows a list of times from midnight to midnight every 1 minute.
This can be configured with Choose Time Interval (minutes) :

Default selection as Relative Date

What is Default selection as Relative Date

Like other Widgets, the DatePicker allows to configure its default value by selecting in the preview inside Alpana Designer. This default selection will be a fixed date range.

In addition, it is possible to configure a relative date range as default selection.
This is described in the corresponding chapter.

Preset Ranges

When the Date Picker is configured with Range selection, you can display a list of commonly used presets for relative selection.

Check Enable Preset Ranges :

At runtime, in addition to the calendar selection, the user will be able to select from the preset ranges :

• This Week
• Last Week
• This Month
• Last Month
• This Year
• Last Year
