I’m using an alert summary table and would like to set a poke point for the date ranges, but I don’t see a property to bind on that deals with start and end times. Version is 7.2.10

Thanks

The alert summary table is a realtime feature, there isn’t a way to pull back “in between” dates. The best way to accomplish this is to create a table that will query alert\_log, and then include the date ranges with your choice of calender components.
