If you are using a date as a filter, for example, Date ordered you can change the list of available dates to select by. To do this click on the  button to the right of the Criteria area. The following dialog is displayed:

The dates are split into 3 distinct areas:

The first set of date choices is where you enter a specific (or dates).
The second set of date choices is orders from now to a defined time in the past. This is useful to view orders that have arrived today, this week or in the last 30 days.
The third set of dates are for view orders in the past. This can be used to view orders from last week, last month or for seeing which orders haven’t been shipped (or paid for) after a defined time period (for example, 30 days).

Tick the choices that you want to appear in the criteria list and press OK.
