## How to Define a Pre-Set Date Range for Reports?

In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to configure a **default date range** for all reports in **Logic ERP**. This feature allows users to automatically filter reports using a predefined time range, reducing repetitive date selection and improving efficiency.

***

### **Understand the Default Behavior**

* By default, report date ranges in Logic ERP are set from **April 1st to March 31st** (the financial year).
* However, you can change this to better suit your operational or analytical needs.

***

### **Enable the Default Date Range Setting**

* Open the **Logic Admin Panel**.
* Navigate to the "**Global Settings"** and then select **"Others".**
* Under the **"Common Settings"** Locate the option labeled as: **“Default Date Range for Reports”.**
* **A dropdown menu** will appear.
* Select one of the following predefined options:
  * **Default** 
  * **Current Date**
  * **Last One Day**
  * **Current Month**
  * **Last N Days**

> For example, selecting **"Current Date"** will configure all reports to show only the data for today.

* Click **Save** to apply your selection.
* **Restart Logic ERP** for the changes to take effect.

***

### **Functionality Review and Validation**

* Open any report—for example, the **Sales Register Report**.
* You will notice that the **"From" and "To" date fields** are now automatically set based on your selected default range.
* The report will display entries according to that date filter.

  > E.g., With “Current Date” selected, only today's bills will appear.

### **Conclusion**

The **“Default Date Range for Reports”** setting in Logic ERP helps users save time and ensures consistent reporting by applying a preferred time range across all reports automatically.
