Items in Condition - Date dialog

Items in the dialog include:
  • Ignore time
    Select this checkbox to include only date criteria in the search. Clear this checkbox to show results with an absolute time, for example, 2:52, to include all entries between 2:52:00 and 2:52:59, or a relative time, such as 1 hour ago, to include all entries between 1:00:00 and 1:59:59.
    Be aware that if you do not clear this checkbox but select
    Equal To
    (below), shown results will be to the nearest minute for an absolute time, or to the nearest hour for a relative time.
  • Absolute Date/Time
    Enter or select the date and time so that the search will return activities that occurred at the specified time according to the server computer’s time settings.
    You can use this option to search an activity that you know occurred on the exact day.
  • Relative to date/time report is run
    Enter or select the date and time so that the search will return activities that occurred at the specified time according to the client computer’s time settings.
    You can use this option to search an activity that you know occurred within the last week but you do not know the exact day.
    For example, the client computer's date is December 3, 2020. If you select this date/time type and specify
    Date/Time selection options
     as two days ago, the relative date will be defined as December 1, 2020 and then the search will be run based on this date.
  • Date/time selection options
    • Equal To
      Enter or select the date and time (or days and hours ago) for which you want to search.
      For example, the computer's date is December 3, 2020. If you select
      Relative to date/time report is run
       and specify two days ago for this option, the search will return activities occurred on December 1, 2020.
    • Between
      Enter or select the start and end time for which you want to search. Between specifies a period including the start and end time.
      For example, the computer's date is December 3, 2020. If you select
      Relative to date/time report is run
       and specify two days ago in the upper date box and one day ago in the lower date box, the search will be run to return activities occurred between December 1, 2020 and December 2, 2020.
    • Before
      Enter or select the date prior to which the activities happened. The search will return activities that occurred prior to the specified time, not including activities that occurred at the specified time.
      For example, the client computer's date is December 3, 2020. If you select
      Relative to date/time report is run
       and specify two days ago for this option, the search will return activities that occurred prior to December 1, 2020, not including activities that occurred on December 1, 2020. Thus, to include activities that occurred on December 1, 2020, specify one day ago for this option, or use the
      Equal To
       option to specify that exact date.
    • After
      Enter or select the date later than which the activities happened. The search will return activities that occurred later than the specified time, not including activities that occurred at the specified time.
      For example, the client computer's date is December 3, 2020. If you select
      Relative to date/time report is run
       and specify two days ago for this option, the search will return activities that occurred later than December 1, 2020, not including activities that occurred on December 1, 2020. Thus, to include activities that occurred on December 1, 2020, specify three days ago for this option, or use the
      Equal To
       option to specify that exact date.
