Hey, @zietho ,
That's great to hear!
And actually, yes, there are some other things that I miss 🙂
Some of it might come as personal taste, but I'll express it anyway:
- The arrows that move the timeframe back and forward, in the same step increments
- After getting back the natural language expressions, the "Timeframe selector guide"
- A lot of Clients use these expressions, but do not write them down from memory... having that handy guide was very appreciated (vs having to head down to the documentation page)
- Recent timeframes used
- VERY useful in the context of problem analysis
- The "Relative timeframes" list is very short and insufficient...
- Most of those old "Presets" were extensively used, each of which in a specific context
- Can't say that I have NOT used any of those regularly, so I believe every single one is important and should be easily accessible in the next implementation
- Furthermore, not only should I think that you should keep the current list, but I also think that adding a "-12h" preset would be great!!
- When selecting a Date for a "Custom timeframe", one can not select directly the time as well
- You need to select the date on the calendar, and then edit the "00:00:00" that is placed automatically on the text box...
- A "Time" text input box on the calendar popup would be nice!
- Before, one would select the "From" and "To" from a single "calendar" view... now, you have separate calendars. Double the clicks, double the trouble 🙂
- This is also valid when it comes to the original post's natural language expressions... instead of writing down a complete "-1w to -2d" expression, one must break it down and write each sub-string on each field...
- I think this is the more subjective one, and it doesn't strike me as shocking if you keep both fields (a lot of other tools also use two fields from timeframe selection).
Hope this helps!
If I recall any other improvement suggestion, I'll let you know here 🙂
Best regards, Pedro Deodato
