Custom Date Filters in KPI Dashboard

To enhance the functionality of date filtering, we are introducing an option to use API to configure the filters. You can now:

• Select from static filter, floating filter, and presets
• Configure the date filter in KPI Dashboards to show only selected date filters
• Set which date granularities (day, month, quarter, year) are available in the date filter
• Change the name of the date filter, make it read-only, and hide it for the end-user
• Configure for the whole workspace or a specific dashboard

With the default date filter JSON structure, your date filter menu will look like this:

To postpone the official release and preserve the current date filter setup for your users, set the enableKPIDashboardExtendedDateFilters platform setting to false. For more information about the platform settings, see Platform Settings.
