A date interactive filter allows users to filter report widgets based on the value in
a date field.

## Before you begin

Role required: hp_publisher_admin and report_admin. The hp_publisher_admin role exists only for managing interactive filters in Core UI. By default, it contains the role analytics_filter_admin for managing Core UI filters that are migrated to Platform Analytics experience.  
When a user selects <kbd class="ph userinput">All</kbd>, they do not see a report with all filter options applied, they see the unfiltered report. This example of date filter shows a number of date ranges you can filter on.  

Note:  
If the interactive filter has a default value or specifies the last selected value, non-responsive dashboards do not apply this value automatically. This feature is only available on [Responsive dashboards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Wharh7Kz9rAGT763_pR8BQ "Responsive dashboards enable you to share widgets such as reports and Performance Analytics visualizations in the classic environment. An easy-to-use drag and drop canvas helps you create, edit, and arrange content, and then share it with colleagues.").

## Procedure

1. **Optional:** Check the existing interactive filters on the same table.
   1. Navigate to sys_ui_hp_publisher.list and select an interactive filter based on the same table you want to filter.
   2. Under Related Links, select Other filters on Table.
   3. Review the other filters that are available on the same table to see if the filter you want already exists.
   {#t_CreateADatePublisher__substeps_jm1_dvy_lnb}
2. Navigate to sys_ui_hp_publisher.list.
3. Select New.
4. In the Filter based on list, select Date.  

5. Set the following fields:  
   {#t_CreateADatePublisher__table_ekl_jmh_kr__entry__2}{#t_CreateADatePublisher__ph_jnw_x4q_bz}{#t_CreateADatePublisher__if_lookupname}{#t_CreateADatePublisher__if_desc}{#t_CreateADatePublisher__if_UIcontroltype}

   | Name | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Enter a name for the filter. This name appears on the dashboard widget for the filter. |
   | Look up name | Enter a lookup name for the filter. This name appears in the Add content menu for users adding a filter to a dashboard. Use this name to help organize your filters. If you do not specify a lookup name, the Name value is used instead. |
   | Description | Enter a description of the filter. |
   | UI control type | Select how the available filtering options for this filter appear on the dashboard widget. See [Available interactive filter UI control types](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/1NAkD9Li2Aa2mcf1DTqt1Q "The interactive filter UI control type field provides several options for displaying the filter."). |

   {#t_CreateADatePublisher__table_ekl_jmh_kr}
6. **Optional:** Select Apply to all tables in hierarchy to apply the filter to parent, child, and sibling tables of an extended table.
7. **Optional:** Select Apply filter to database views and tables to apply the filter to widgets based on both [database views](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ZaIJQWV6_9ZI1JkGkx2LHA#gloss-database-view "A database view defines table joins for reporting purposes. For example, a database view can join the Incident table to the Metric Definition table. This view can be used for an indicator source.") and tables.  
   Note:  
   It is not possible to apply filters to tables that extend the database view's tables. For more information, see [Interactive filters on database views and table hierarchies](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Q8g~YpFobwsxK1FAQ8aM9g "When you create an interactive filter on an extended table, you can also apply the filter to database views and to the other tables in the hierarchy. The hierarchy includes all parent, child, and sibling tables.").
8. In the Date section, use the slushbucket to select one or more date ranges that users can filter on.  
   Available date filters are defined in the Get Date Filter options for Date Filters business rule. Customize this business rule to add or remove filter options.
9. **Optional:** Select a Default value for the filter.  
   This default is applied automatically for all users. Values that a user selects override the global default for that user. You can specify more than one default value when using a UI control type that enables multiple selections, such as Select Multiple Input.  
   Note:  
   To pass more than 50 default values, or if you see the error This is exceeding the GET call limitation, create multiple interactive filters.
10. Right-click on the form header and select Save.
11. In the Interactive filter Dates related list, select New.
12. In the Table field, select a table that has reports you want to filter.
13. In the Field field, select a date field to filter on.
14. Click Submit.

## What to do next

Repeat steps 8-11 as needed for each date field you want to filter on.  
1. After you create the filter, add it to a dashboard.
2. On the dashboard, select the Edit widget icon (![Edit columns icon]()) on each visualization on the dashboard that should follow the filter and select Follow interactive filter.
