Datepicker Defaults - Feature Request

2

I can see value in being able to define relative dates for reports. A possible generic solution is to support relative date periods using a format something like

RelativeDate = BaseDate +/- X months +/- Y days

Where BaseDate (a drop down list) can be

  • Today
  • Start week
  • Start Month
  • Start financial year (a new Manager business parameter)
  • Start of period (when specifying end of the period)

With month adjustments to achieve

  • Year = 12 months
  • Semester = 6 months
  • Quarter = 3 months

Day adjustments to achieve

  • Fortnight = 14 days
  • Week = 7 days
  • Last day month = First day next month - 1

I’m less sure of their value in one off date specification as the date picker works well for that
