Built-in time frame modifiers

Adobe Workfront has built-in time frame modifiers that you can use without defining a specific date. 

These modifiers are available for any date field in a filter or a prompt in any report. 

For more information about how to filter a report by a time frame associated with a date, see  Filter a report by the time frame of a date.

For example, if you are building an hour report and would like to display hours entered in a specific time frame, you can choose from the following built-in time frame filter options:

Today Displays hours where the Entry Date is today.
This Week Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the current week, where the week starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday.
Next Week Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the week following the current week, where the week starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday. 
Last Week Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the week prior to the current week, where the week starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday. 
This Month Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the current month.
Next Month Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the month following the current month.
Last Month Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the month preceding the current month
This Quarter

Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the current quarter, where quarters are defined as:

  • First Quarter: January 1 - March 30
  • Second Quarter: April 1 - June 30
  • Third Quarter: July 1 - September 30
  • Fourth Quarter: October 1 - December 31
Next Quarter Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the quarter following the current quarter, where quarters are defined above.
Last Quarter

Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the quarter preceding the current quarter, where quarters are defined above.

Note: If your Workfront administrator has enabled and defined custom quarters for your system, the built-in filters for quarters are replaced with your custom quarter information. For more information about enabling custom quarters, see Enable custom quarters for projects.
This Year Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the current year, where the current year starts on January 1 and ends on December 31.
Past Year Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the past year, where the past year starts 12 months prior to the current date.
Last Year

Displays hours where the Entry Date is a date in the last year, where the last year starts on January 1 and ends on December 31 of the year preceding the current year.

Note: There is no built-in time period for fiscal year. You can create a report and filter the information by date using a custom modifier for the date range of the fiscal year, as it is defined in your organization. If you want to choose a time frame for a fiscal year on the spot, then you should use a prompt instead of a filter.
