How do I use the Date filter? (video)

  23 Nov 2021

The Date filter appears as the Global Filter on top of the Search page and also as a Sub-filter for certain record types. It always functions the same way. 

The Date filter allows users to search for records published within (i) a pre-determined date range (e.g. “Last 7 Days”); (ii) a specified date range (“Custom Range”); or (iii) on a specific date. The instructions below describe how to perform the 2 latter actions.


How to specify a Date range:

Step 1: On the Search page, click on the Date global filter and then click on the calendar icon. 

Step 2: In the first calendar on the left, find the “from” month and year:

  • Use the arrows or select the month and year from the two drop-down lists. 
  • Click on the specific date of interest.

Step 3: In the second calendar on the right, find the “to” month and year: 

  • Use the arrows or select the month and year from the two drop-down lists. 
  • Click on the specific date of interest.

 NOTE: As you select dates, the calendars on the left and on the right might move/change because the arrows apply to both calendars. 

 TIP: Your selected dates will be displayed at the bottom of the calendar. 

 Step 4: Click on the Apply button to activate your date filter.

  Your selected Date range appears above the free text search box.
