Filter events by time

Isolating events for specific time periods allows for in-depth analysis of data associated with selected attributes. There are five methods available to filter by time.

Time Period Filter

The Time Period Filter is a quick method to display only events within a predefined time frame. Users can select options within the timeline filter tabs, which provide a straightforward way to refine data view by specific periods.
