Preset date ranges let you quickly filter data across Rentopian. Instead of picking dates manually each time, you can create reusable filters like “Next Week” or “This Month.”

What Are Date Range Presets?

Date range presets are saved filters you can use in different areas of the system.

Examples:

  • This Month

  • Next Week

  • Last 30 Days

  • Next Year

Once created, these presets can be used in:

  • Crew Scheduling (Premium Logistics)

  • Custom Fields

  • Dashboard

  • Dispatching Scheduler (Premium Logistics)

  • Dispatching Drivers

  • Invoice List

  • Logistics

  • Order Calendar

  • Payments

  • Reports

  • Tasks

  • Task Filters

  • Transactions List

Important: A preset can only be created for one section at a time.


How to Create a Date Range Preset

Step 1: Navigate to Date Range Presets

  • Go to Settings.

  • Click Date Range Presets.

Step 2: Add a New Preset

  • Click the green Add Date Range Preset button.

  • Enter a clear Title (example: Next Year).

  • Select the Section where this preset should apply.

Step 3: Set the Start Date Rule

Each date rule has four parts:

  • Modifier: This, Next, or Last

  • Period: Day, Week, Month, Year, Quarter, Weekend, or a specific weekday

  • Days: Number of days to move forward

  • Time: Optional hour of the day

Example:

If you select This + Year + 0 Days, your start date will be January 1 of the current year.

If you select This + Year + 4 Days, your start date will be January 5.

Step 4: Set the End Date Rule (If Available)

Some sections allow both a start and end date.

Example for “Next Year”:

  • Start Date: Next + Year + 0 Days

  • End Date: Next + Year + 365 Days

This creates a full one-year range starting January 1 of next year.

Step 5: Confirm

  • Click the green Confirm button.

  • You will see a green success message.


Using Your Preset

Once saved, your preset will appear in the date filter area of the section you selected.

Example in Order Calendar:

  • Open the Order Calendar.

  • Click Filters.

  • Select your preset under Custom Dates.


Edit or Remove a Preset

  • Click the pencil icon to edit.

  • Click the trash can icon to delete.


Best Practices

  • Use clear names like “Next 7 Days” or “This Quarter.”

  • Avoid creating duplicate presets across many sections.

  • Double-check your “Days” value to avoid date mistakes.

  • Test your preset after saving to confirm the range is correct.
