Timeframe Report
The Timeframe Report is only available for Professional and higher tiers.
Upon switching from the Timeframe Report view to the Snapshot Report view (or vice versa), the set date range will be reset to the default date.
By default, we set the date range of the Timeframe Report to the last finished month (e.g. if you are in January we would default to the range, 1st of December to 31st of December).
The (Green) Inventory Timeframe Report allows you to view your (Green) Inventory on any given period of time (day, week, month, (half) year, or custom).
The Start date weight is based on the actual Registration Start date of the lot and not the Start date of the Inventory Report.
