How to set a date range for a dashboard?

[moriag]

Hi everyone,

So I have created a dashboard, but I want to watch it over a specific date range, for example: 

• For the last month
• Between date A and date B
• Comparison between date range A and date range B

I cannot find a convenient way to do so.
Any suggestions?

Dashboards do not have fields you enter like this, they contain gadgets that are configured separately to each other.

Most gadgets work off filters, which return a list of issues that match a question.

So to achieve your date-range setting, you should define them in your filters.

"Last month" for example can be done by saying "and <date field> > -1m", or maybe even more useful - "and <date field> > startOfMonth(-1)"
