Is there an option to add Time Token function on Dashboard?

Hi Team,

I have  several Dashboards that contain base searches data from reports  for example: 

<search id="baseSearch" ref="Report"></search> 

but, I see that I am not getting option to add time token on dashboard.

Is there any option we can provide the time token to expand or reduced time window for end users on dashboard by using ref="Report" saved search method ?

Reports are snapshots of data and can't be changed after they are created. Thus you aren't able to change the time on a report once it is done. You could create multiple reports with the same search but different time ranges but I don't think that is what you want.

You could create the report over the maximum duration that you want users to see and use a time picker to limit the events shown.

Make a separate panel in the dashboard that uses the report as its base and insert the following code:

| where _time>relative_time(now(),"$time_token.earliest$")

Dashboard example: 

<form version="1.0">
<search id="base" ref="test_report"></search>
<label>Test</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="time" token="time_token">
<label>Time</label>
<default>
<earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</default>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<title>This is my Panel</title>
<table>
<search base="base">
<query>| where _time&gt;relative_time(now(),"$time_token.earliest$")</query>
</search>
<option name="drilldown">none</option>
<option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
</table>
</panel>
</row>
</form>
