In one of the projects, we had a requirement to give a quick ability to users to give a monthly filter for the records created. Here is how we solved this problem using a low code way.

Create New from here:

Chart designer will be opened for the user, please configure it as below:

On the Contact entity view, Select the chart Contacts by Created on and see the results:

This way the month filters are available to the user in an intuitive experience.

Note: In this example, I have used Personal charts – you can easily utilize System charts which can be published for entire organisation too.

These are troubled times and we are all stressed as people and professionals. I wanted to pen down a quick Mantra for sharing true essence of a community for everyone.

Actively seeing communities in tech industry for past 8 years here are few key reasons you should come to a community:

· You have an active quest to learn

· You have an active thrust to share your knowledge

· You want to have role models and grow in the industry in guidance who have been around.

· You do not want to prove people wrong, rather want to learn from new ideas and experience.

· You do not wish to make any benefits for yourself rather share and care.

· You have an open mind and not a closed one.

In the time of crisis caused by the health and economic factors surrounding us, when many professionals are stressed – communities bring out the best out of us for helping out each other.

Follow this mantra and spread the positive aura:

· Converse!

· Share!

· Care!

· Be compassionate and passionate.

· Have empathy.
