DIM filter question

TSasha Smith

Is there anyway to filter products bought in a certain year?  Like show only items ordered in 2016 or 2011 or etc?  Or how about a certain month like March 2016 or October 2011 or whatever?  I was curious about about how many items I got in each period.  I know it is not accurate as some products have multiple downloads.

For sure. In the filter field, enter date::YYYY-MM-DD for a single day, or date::[YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DD] for a range of dates, from/to.

There are symbols for days, weeks, months and years. It is quite clearly explained in the Install Manager Reference Guide - Advanced Filtering - Date (Time). A little technical, but not too much. The built-in filters, eg., for years, look like this:

This year (this calendar year)
date::[%0_YEARS%,%0_YEARS%]

Last year (last calendar year)
date::[%1_YEARS%,%1_YEARS%]

Last year start (last year + this year-to-date)
date::%1_YEARS%

If you want to go back 2 years (2017, 2018 + year-to-date) put date::%2_YEARS
If you want to look at a previous year (say, 2017), put date::[%2_YEARS%,%2_YEARS%]
For 2016 and 2017 put date::[%3_YEARS%,%2_YEARS%]

Similarly for months, weeks, days...

ETA: Default is Order Date, but you can modify it for Package date or Install date.

Yes, the Default Filters package includes many pre-built filters; quite a number of which are targeted specifically at time/date ranges. If you find that the specific filter you want is not included, documentation on the syntax for constructing your own advanced filters can be found at http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/install_manager/referenceguide/interface/filter_field/advanced_filtering#date_time
