Predefined Date Selector issues

amarcz_cc — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 23:34:19 GMT

Hello,

I am attempting to run a simple Select a Date using the predefined values of [Show All, Today, Future] and can not for the life of me get the Today query to work.

My data is in a date datatype, but comes in two fields of StartDate & EndDate. Using the Today, Within the Last [1 Day], or Within the Next [1 Day] query all the features out.

I don't understand what I am missing.

Data is published to my Enterprise Portal, then using a Collaboration, shared to ArcGIS Online where the Dashboard is being created.

Do you have a screenshot of your pre-defined date configuration? This might help the community suggest alternative settings.

Maybe there's a standing bug logged with that data convenyance method: Portal/AGOL Collaborative Sharing. However, out of some initial searches I did not find anything specific.

That's what I am trying to figure out, how can I achieve a Predefined Date Selector of Today, when using two fields? Fields are StartDate& EndDate.

@amarcz_cc Is there a particular reason you want to use 2 dates? Why not just use one of your two dates or CreationDate (when the form was submitted).

The dates signify the extent of the Project. When setting up the Time Selector Actions, I chose to use start date, but was getting the same issues as stated above.

For example, I expect to see the following:

Show All: Show all Projects

Today: Show Projects that are between Start Date & End Date

Future: Show projects that have not started today, but are yet to come.

It is the Today selector I am having the issues with.

Have you considered a status field and a category selector instead of based on dates?
