     Enter a value for the duration of the period or select a value by clicking on the arrows in the input field.
     Select the unit of the period: Minute, hour, day, week, month or year.
   • Start time (relative to query time)
     Define the starting point of the period relative to the current date by specifying the unit of the distance to the current time: Minute, hour, day, week, month or year.
     Specify whether the starting point is in the past or the future starting from the current date. With a negative value you specify a start time in the future, with a positive value a start time in the past.
