Filtering Data by Date and Time

By specifying a time span or a start and end date and time, you can limit the amount of data that is displayed in History Explorer. Additionally, by using date and time filters, you can easily locate specific records based on when the entry was recorded to the BarTender System Database.

History Explorer provides two ways to filter the data in the BarTender System Database by date and time: by using the Time Span control on the active view or by customizing the Custom Filter controls.
