Select 'Custom' to create a more complex report query. This page operates identically to the 'Edit Parameters' option within an existing report.
Leaving the date range blank will cause the report to include relevant data from the previous 90 days. If the end date is left blank, the end date is open-ended. This means that anytime a report is revisited, Signals will override the end date and update the report with the most recent data.
