# i.Date Slider

The **Date Slider** offers a dynamic and interactive way to filter data based on dates. Users can pick dates by sliding the bar, with customizable styling and behavior options.

## How to Enable Date Slider

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Add a **Date field** to the **Category field** area in the Visualizations pane.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Make sure the field is set to **Date** (not Date Hierarchy).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Once set to Date, the visual will automatically switch to **Date Slider mode**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Drag the slider handle (bubble) to select the desired date range.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Use the **Calendar icon** next to the slider to pick a range from the calendar or type a specific date in the **MM/DD/YY** format.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/super-filter/filter-types/1.-date-filter/i.date-slider.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
