This document describes how to specify the date or date range of an InfoEx report.

==Background==
Users can specify a date or date range for the InfoEx report. Once the time period is specified, the application queries the InfoEx server and retrieves all of the information required for the current report template and the requested time period. 

==Step-by-step description==

''Relative dates or date ranges'':
