Date settings in BoviSync determine which records are included and affect relative date report item values. Dates can be chosen absolutely: 12/31/2023 or relatively: 7 days ago. This is useful when using reports for activities in the past or future, i.e., next Monday, or last month.
Date settings can be found in the report settings drawer in Insights reports.

Relative Dates
Using relative values ensure that the report is loading information for the desired date period. When a relative date term is entered the date below the box will change. It is a good idea to confirm the expected date value.
Here are some example relative values:
Today - default value, always loads the current values.
Yesterday
Tomorrow
Monday - next Monday or today on Monday
Monday 2 weeks - 2 Mondays after the next Monday
Last Week - 7 days ago
Last Month - First day of Previous Month
End of Last Month - Last day of Previous Month
2 months ago - Day of current month, 2 months ago
14 days ago
in 14 days
