## 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**&#x20;
  * **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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.logicerp.com/logic-erp-learning-hub-tutorials-and-best-practices/user-access/logic-global-admin/others/common-settings/default-date-range-for-reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
