# b.Default Selection

{% hint style="success" %}
**Supported in: ✔️**Slider Calendar **❌**Year **❌**Multi Year **❌**Month**✔️**Month Range **❌**Week **❌**Days
{% endhint %}

The **Default Selection** option allows users to dynamically set a predefined date range for the visual. Once configured, the visual will always display the selected range by default.

Follow these steps to configure this feature:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the **Format Pane** section: **Date Filter** -> **General** -> **Default Selection**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The default option is **User Defined**, which allows users to manually select the desired date range.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Other available predefined options include:

* Past Days
* Past Weeks
* Past Calendar Weeks
* Past Months
* Past Calendar Months
* Past Quarter
* Past Year
* Past Calendar Years
* Future Days
* Future Weeks
* Future Calendar Weeks
* Future Quarters
* Future Years
* Future Calendar Years
* This Day
* This Week
* This Month
* This Quarter
* This Year 
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
When one of these predefined options is selected, an additional setting, **Selection Count**, appears. This allows users to specify the number of days, weeks, months, or other units for the date range.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Once configured, the visual dynamically updates to reflect the selected default range.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Week-based options like **"This Week"** now align with the configured **Start Day of the Week**.\
For example, if the start day is set to **Tuesday**, selecting "This Week" will filter dates from **Tuesday to today**.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/super-filter/filter-types/1.-date-filter/vii.format-pane-settings/b.default-selection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
