Prerequisites : From the io-base portal, access to Indaboard.

Through the menu My Dashboards, view a dashboard's content.

In a dashboard, each component can be set up for its own period. For example, a component can display data from the current day, and another component data from the current month. These dates can be set in the modification screen of each component.

It is also possible to define a period that will be common to all the components of a dashboard. In the dashboard settings screen, click on the calendar icon in the upper left-hand corner.

The field for selecting the period appears.

All the components of the table will then take the period of the report as their own. Thus, it is possible to easily set up monthly or weekly summaries for example.

When a common period is set on a dashboard, it is possible to force a component to ignore this period, and to lock it on the period that is set for it. Open the component settings screen, and check the Lock box next to the period selection zone.

Screens that are time-locked appear with a padlock on the dashboard screen at the top right.

You can specify a time shift for a component's period, allowing you to create a discrepancy between the dashboard's global date and the component's date.

For example, if you enter -1 as the time shift for a component:

If you select "current month" as the global display period for the dashboard, and it's March, the component will display data for February (the month prior to March).

If you change the global period of the dashboard and select "current week" as the global display period, the component will show data for the previous week.

Note: Time shift is only available when components are not locked.
