You can use the general time-range control in the Activeboards work area to enable real-time by clicking the play button, or to apply a time range to all the widgets in your Activeboard. Alternatively, you can assign a specific time range to an individual widget by clicking on its top bar and setting the time range in the pane to the right. You can set an absolute time range or use date language expressions in your entire Activeboard or selected widgets.

Learn the basics of setting an absolute time range in your Activeboard or specific widget in the following video:
Set a time range for your Activeboard
When you set a specific time range for an Activeboard, the widgets' data is automatically recalculated and only the results for the selected time range are displayed.
Simply click the time-range area in the top-right corner to define a new period in the window that appears, then click Apply to recalculate the Activeboard's data.
Set a time range for a widget
You can also set specific time ranges for individual widgets by clicking the widgets' top bar and enabling the Custom Date Range option. This will open a time-range picker that works exactly the same as the Activeboard general one. Remember that setting a custom time range for a widget overrides the period selected for the Activeboard.
Keep in mind that selecting the ISO week option for a snap to time range means that your week begins on Monday. By default, the week in Devo always begins on Sunday. If you use the platform in Spanish then your week begins on Monday by default.
