Current Date range in Portfolio Analyzer

[Conrad Santiago]

How can I set up a date range in the Portfolio Analyzer so that it starts on
the current date?

I have some views set up to see availability of our resource groups
week-by-week. Every Monday, I must modify the views to remove last week and
add another week to maintain the same range. I would like it to be automatic
so that the chart starts on the current date and displays the same date range.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Go into PWA, Admin => Manage Enterprise Features

Under "Date Range" you can control the range of dates which get built into
the cube in a relative way, ie the past 1 month and the next 12 months. Set
your views up to show the entire cube and let the cube "slide along with the
dates" instead.

Conrad:

Even if you changed the Analyzer start dates, the view needs to change.
Otherwise you'd simply empty the view week by week across your date range.
You can probably automate the process of changing the view definition in the
database if you've got the programming skills and a little imagination.

Programming that is a little out of my league at this point. It's time and
experience I lack...a little imagination, I do have. Thanks for the info.
