How to add button to change data history?

Hi,

I have 3 reports on a dashboard with history to search last 30 seconds. Can I add a button or a drop down list on the dashboard to control all 3 reports to show history for last 30 mins instead?

You need to do EXACTLY this:

Click the `Edit` button.
On the far right, click the `Autorun dashbaord` check box
Above the Timepicker control click on the leftmost icon (pen/crayon):
In the `Default` field, select `Relative `and set `30 Minutes ago` for `Earliest` and `Now` for `Latest`.
Click `Apply`.
In each panel:
Click on the leftmost icon (magnifying glass).
Click `Clone to an inline search`.
Click on the leftmost icon (different magnifying glass).
In the `Time range` field, select `Shared Timepicker`.
Click `Apply`.
Click `Save`.

Also probably this after you get the above done and working:

Click the `Edit` button.
In each panel:
Click on the leftmost icon (magnifying glass).
In the `Saved search` field put something like `| savedsearch originalSearchReportNameForMyPanel`
Click `Apply`.
Click `Save`.

Yes, that should be possible.
Are you having only user access or do you have more access permissions (admin / power , etc)?
did you create this dashboard or someone else?
does this dashboard give you edit options(do you see an edit button or no edit option)?

thanks and best regards,
Sekar

Hi, I'm the admin. I created a dashboard with all 3 reports. There is an add input options and one of them it time. I chose All time and dragged to one of the reports, saved the dashboard and change the time period to last 30 seconds which I expected to show no data. It didn't seems to work. There is a Token field which I did not know how to fill in to control the time period.
