Global Date Selector

The Global Date Selector allows a single date range to be applied across the Ternary application. When enabled, the selected date range is consistently used across dashboards, reports, anomaly detection, resource utilization, and other supported views within the same session.

This feature is used to maintain consistent time-based analysis while navigating across multiple pages, without manually adjusting date ranges on each individual view.

How does the Global Date Selector work?

The Global Date Selector applies a single date range across all supported pages in Ternary for the duration of the active session. When enabled, dashboards, reports, and other views reflect the selected global date range instead of their saved or default settings.

If a dashboard or report was originally saved with a different date range, the displayed range updates to match the global selection. The underlying saved configuration of reports and dashboards is not modified.

When the Global Date Selector is enabled:

• The global date range temporarily overrides displayed date ranges during the active session.
• Date controls on individual dashboards and reports are disabled. Underlying date ranges remain unchanged.
• Page-level date ranges cannot be modified until the global selector is turned off.
• When a dashboard or report is shared, the global date range is enforced for users who open the shared link.
• The global date range remains active only for the current session and does not persist after logout.

This ensures consistent time-based analysis and collaboration without altering existing report or dashboard configurations.

How to enable and use the Global Date Selector

The Global Date Selector is disabled by default upon login.

To enable or modify it:

• Locate the date selector in the top navigation bar.
• Toggle the slider to enable the Global Date Selector.
• Click the selector again to open date range settings.
• Choose from predefined ranges such as 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or month-to-date.
• Optionally define a custom date range if required.

Once enabled, the selected date range is applied across supported pages.

How to disable the Global Date Selector

To remove the global date range, toggle the Global Date Selector off from the top navigation.

After disabling, all pages revert to their default or saved date range configurations.
