Create precise rolling periods for reports, alerts and scheduled maintenance without editing the dates before every run.
Keep a scheduled job current
A useful schedule needs dates that move with the run. Relative filters can represent the previous day, recent hours, the first or last day of a month or a particular day in the current or next month.
Where relative time helps
- Send yesterday’s completed transactions each morning
- Watch for issues created in the last few hours
- Clear held orders older than a chosen number of days
- Run month-end reports without changing the filter manually
Use the business timezone
Confirm the relevant location timezone and whether the job refers to trading date, creation time or completion time. That distinction matters around midnight and for multi-location operations.
