When you click on the button, you will see a list of *time frame presets*, allowing you to select a standard time range for all of the topics within the section.
The time frame presets, which include *the current year*, *the previous year*, *the previous 6 months*, *the previous 3 months*, and *previous month* are calculated from the current day.
For example: if the request is done on 08.11.2022, the last year's filter will go back to 08.11.2021.
Additionally, you can also select the *Custom* option, and select a date of your choice.
Finally, you will be able to select dates in the *future***,** when possible.

#### Dynamic Filters
When available, you can apply *one or more filters* to your Topics.
Apply Dynamic Filter on Topics List
Filters are organized by *filter name:* e.g. Sales Agent, Forecast Month, Account, etc.
The *Search Bar* may help you to speed up your Filter research if there are too many Filters.
For each Filter, you can select a specific *value*.
Just click on the drop-down menu button, on the right side of the filter, choose the ones you want, and click on *"Select"* to confirm.
You can also apply multiple values from multiple Filters.
To finalize the operation, select as many values as you need, then click on the *"Apply"* button down below.
You can also *remove* one or more Filters and / or Filter values in different ways:
* By manually un-selecting each of them inside the Filter space
* In bulk, by clicking on the *"Clear"* button or on the *"X"* button.
These last two actions will result in the removal all of the values selected inside that filter.
Otherwise, click on *"Clear all"* to completely remove all the filters applied.
