View Controls

Views have unique controls that modify the data displayed.  These controls include:

• Date Range: Allows changing the time frame of a view
• Timeline: Puts historical data in motion similar to a DVR
• Config: Contains additional options to modify the view behavior

Date Range

The Date Range selector allows the user to select a date range from a list of pre-configured date ranges.  It also allows for the selecting of a custom date range by clicking "Custom", which causes a calendar component to appear.

Views and Viewlets with a Title configuration option can optionally use a template macro to show either:

• ${context}: the contextual display name of the current context level. Only works if inside of a context. On a site like "Barnard" this would show "Barnard" and then change as is appropriate when navigating contexts.
• ${dateRange}: the current view's date range display string. "Today", "Last Month", etc. Will change when the global date range selection changes.
