There are 2 types of values that can be used to filter dates in Popdock; constant date values and relative date values.
Constant date values are dates that don’t change over time. For example, you can select October 21st, 2015 as a constant date value.
Relative date values are calculated based on the current date. You can use these date filter values to create favorites that change based on when you use them. For example you can create favorites that show you the current month’s sales or tickets that are overdue.
