The Date virtual table gives you easy access to days, weeks, months, quarters, and years. The Date virtual table has the following fields.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Period Type | Days, weeks, months, quarters, or years. |
Period Start | The date of the first day in the period. |
Period End | The date of the last day in the period. |
Period No. | The number of the period. |
Period Name | The name of the period. |
For each period type, there are many records in the Date table.
You can apply filters to the Period Type, Period Start, and Period End fields to easily get a subset or range of days, weeks, months, quarters, or years to use in your pages or reports.
The date virtual table is most frequently used to provide a range of dates; the Receivables- Payables page is a typical example.
You must create a tabular-type page to access the Date virtual table. For more information, see How to: Create a Page to View a Virtual Table.
