About the Time Frame portlet

The Time Frame portlet lets you decide the period of time that you want to analyze. The time frame you select, affects the time frame used by all portlets displayed on the same page.

Info

...

If you set up a different page to view additional portlets, it is recommended that you add the Time Frame portlet to the new page, and verify that you set it to the period of time that you want to display information on. If you don't add a Time Frame portlet to the page, the portlets on the page that are associated with the Time Frame portlet will automatically display information according to the data collected within the last 24 hours. This is also the default setting for all new time frames.

...

Info

If you delete a Time Frame portlet from a page, the portlets on the page will continue to display information according to the last settings you configured in the Time Frame portlet.

You can either choose to define the time interval that you want to analyze, or to focus your analysis on the last <n>
minutes, hours, days, weeks or months, relative to your own local time. The following table describes the time frame settings you can select.
