Overview
Date ranges provide a simple way to filter report data through a specific time range, for example filtering the data to only display data within the last 3 months. Yellowfin also allows users to create their own custom predefined date ranges.
Implementation Overview
Implementation of a custom date period can be done by extending Yellowfin’s CustomDatePeriod Abstract class and implementing the required methods. These methods can be found in the Custom Date Period Implementation section.
