You can use the general time-range controls in the Activeboards area to apply different time ranges or enable real-time to all the widgets in your Activeboard. Alternatively, you can assign a specific time range to an individual widget. Apart from the time-range controls, you can find options related to query connection at the top right. All of them are described below:
The Time-range fields. Here you can click to open the time window, see your time selections reflected, and manually enter date expressions.
The Calendar from which you can select absolute dates.
The Preset intervals. Here you can choose a predetermined relative or snap-to time range that takes the current moment as a reference endpoint.
The Real-time button. This enables the option to constantly update the widgets to always show the most updated data. To activate it, it is required to have now as the end date.
The Active refresh menu. Check the dedicated article to know everything about this function.
The Cancel Queries button. This stops all widget queries currently in progress and also stops the real-time function.
