I am preparing a Dashboard to be shared with an audience that do not and shall not have any clue about DQL.

They are interested in seeing the same dataset for ThisWeek (week-till-new), ThisMonth (month-till-now) or ThisYear, (year-till-now) by selecting the timeframe.

What I am looking for is simlar to the timeframe selction available in the classic dashbaord app

Hi&nbsp;[@ANLTH](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/63301)

- You can set default time frame for each tile on the dashboard as per the audience preferences, so they will get historical insights about their preferred metrics.
- Another clue, is to set default time frame for the target dashboard.😊

BR,

Peter.

Hi&nbsp;[@ANLTH](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/63301),

Please check this post. It is not a solution for your problem, but maybe you will have any ideas based on it for actual week, month any year vizualization.

I can, but then I woul have to have a dashboard for TODAY one for THIS MONTH and one for THIS YEAR. I is the same usergroup juggeling between the time periods, so it will not be a good user experience.
