| Apr 14, 2016 at 10:43 | comment | added | Andyg8 | Thanks! Very helpful. It seems 4.8 will offer huge flexibility on this point. | |
| Apr 13, 2016 at 13:25 | comment | added | Heather O. | It's not something I've done before, but there's a few issues logged around renaming and the following stack exchange post links to those: civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/4815/… Would be a good starting point I think :) | |
| Apr 13, 2016 at 13:01 | comment | added | Andyg8 | Yes, good conclusions. Thanks! Regarding customising, can you point me in the direction of how to 'adjust Civicrm to include' those required dates? | |
| Apr 13, 2016 at 7:37 | comment | added | Heather O. | You're right Andyg8, there are fixed relative dates that CiviCRM provides. You'll see these date options in the reports too. Without customising CiviCRM, you're options would be to work with the existing relative dates, or use standard groups and manually run the search at a set frequency and add appropriate people into the groups. Alternately, you could look at adjusting CiviCRM to include your required dates. | |
| Apr 12, 2016 at 9:08 | comment | added | Andyg8 | Thanks Heather O... I should have added that I'm on 4.6.14. And as you say, everything is there in the Advanced Search feature... except the ability to do relative dates of arbitrary length. For a date field like Event start date, I can happily search for '1 month ago', '1 quarter ago', '1 year ago'... but I can't see a way to search for say '10 months ago', or '20 months ago'. I can be a bit flexible on the durations I need here, but I do need various lengths between 1 quarter, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years. Hence exploring the Search builder, but that doesn't seem to allow relative dates. | |
