Date filters for Answers and Liveboards

We have increased the possible range of dates you can use to filter your Answers and Liveboards. Previously, when adding a date using the filter from the side bar, users were limited to the following conditions: On (=) <date>, On or after (>=) <date>, Before (<) <date>, and Between <date> and <date>. Now, we support rolling time windows, as well as fixed date ranges.

Last period and this period

You can now include the current period within a date filter chip, when selecting a rolling date filter. This allows you to define a date range such as "last four months, including this month." This rolling date filters enhancement applies to both Liveboard and Answer filters.

Last four months
