Selecting Start & End dates within CDL SmartHub

As many of you may know, the normal way of selecting the Start & End dates is through the conventional calendar selection highlighted below. This is done by either manually typing in the date and time, or selecting the date by clicking on the calendar Icon.

However, there’s a quicker or perhaps more convenient method of selecting small or large periods of data!!!

For example, if you want to view the last 6 hours’ data, to present day/ time, then simply type the following in the Start & End selection boxes of the SmartHub

Once entered, simply Click “Generate Graph”, and you will report the last 6 hours of data to the current GMT time. (Example Below)

It works with the text “Days” too!!!! So for example why not try typing “7 Days ago” in the SmartHub and press “Generate”

CDL SmrtHub start date 7 days ago
7 days ago start date

Here’s the result!!
