Date Filtering Interface

Key Capabilities​

  • Intuitive Date Range Selection:
    Set precise date ranges using user-friendly From and To date pickers for any date-based field, including Expiration Date, Creation Date, and Issue Date.

  • Flexible Filtering Options:
    Apply date filters to multiple date fields simultaneously, enabling complex queries like "credentials created in Q1 that expire in the next 60 days."

  • Common Use Cases Made Simple:

    • Identify credentials expiring within specific timeframes
    • Find all credentials created between particular dates
    • Filter out expired credentials from active management lists
