'''Dynamic date shortcuts'''

<!--T:3-->
It's a powerful feature of TaticView, it's selections, Date [[Filters]], that dynamically adapt to the context where and when they're being used.

<!--T:4-->
With them it is possible to select periods that change dynamically, for example:

<!--T:5-->
* Current Year
* Last two years
* Current month
* Month to date
* Today
* Yesterday

<!--T:6-->
These shortcuts use the moment the dashboard is running as a reference, and from there, determines which period to use for the selection.

<!--T:7-->
TaticView has several Dynamic Shortcuts for ready-to-use dates, and allows the user to create their own [[Custom_date_shortcuts|custom shortcuts]]. This feature allows unlimited combinations to be made to meet the user's diverse needs.

<!--T:8-->
In addition, Dynamic Date Shortcuts can be even more powerful when used anchored.

'''Dynamic anchored date shortcuts'''

<!--T:10-->
Dynamic Date Shortcuts can be used docked, that is, you can associate a [[Combo_(Filter)|Combo]] with objects that have been configured to use one or more Dynamic Date Shortcuts, and so these shortcuts stop using the dashboard execution time as a reference, and begin to use as a reference what was selected in the [[Combo_(Filter)|Combo]], for example:

<!--T:11-->
#I create in a [[Table]] the [[Column_Properties|Column]] ''Date of Delivery'' and the [[Column_Properties|Column]] ''Price''
#I associate to this same [[Table]] a ''Current Year'' [[Filters|Filter]] of ''Delivery Date''
#When you run this dashboard, only the Current Year Prices in the [[Table]] will be shown, because Dynamic Date Shortcuts used the moment of execution as a reference.
#Associating now a ''Year'' of ''Delivery Date'' with this object, in the execution of the dashboard, when changing the year in the [[Combo_(Filter)|Combo]] will show the Prices of the selected year and not more of the current year, this is because '''the date selected in the [[Combo_(Filter)|Combo]] is now used as reference and not the current time'''.

<!--T:12-->
Note:

<!--T:13-->
* So that Dynamic Date Shortcuts are anchored to the Date [[Column_Properties|Column]] used as [[Filters|Filter]] must be the same as that used in the [[Combo_(Filter)|Combo]].
* The anchor feature works with any object, including [[Table]] [[Column_Properties|Columns]].


<!--T:14-->
'''Limitations of Dynamic Shortcuts for anchored dates'''

<!--T:15-->
In the current version of TaticView it is not possible to use more than one [[Combo_(Filter)|Combo]] as an anchor associated with the same object, if this is done, TaticView informs the user about the limit.
