Overview

With the new Date Range Picker available in Resourcing and other areas of Hive, you gain control to:

  • Specify exact date ranges

  • Quickly jump to common date periods

  • Quickly jump periods of time with next/previous buttons

  • Use plain-english shorthand for date range parsing, for example: "Next 2 quarters", "Past 45 days", "Last 2 weeks", "This year", etc.

How it works

The date range picker shows the exact date range text it's currently on. Clicking the picker will highlight the text and show a dropdown with some quick shortcut options. From here, you can either:

  • Manually type a date range and press enter

  • Type a plain-english relative range and press enter

  • Click to select a common shortcut from the dropdown options

Supported ranges

Relative

Any combination of the below is supported to define a relative range to view:

direction (next / last / this)

unit (days/weeks/months/quarters/years)

number (1-N) - optional if singular

Some examples:

  • Next 45 days

  • Last 2 weeks

  • This month

  • Next 2 quarters

  • Last year

Fixed

If you want to hone in on super specific dates, you can type exact ranges and Hive will do its best to parse and reflect what you're after.

Some examples:

  • Jan 2027 - May 2027 => Will assume start/end of months

  • Mar 16 - May 27 => Will assume current year

  • Sep 23, 2025 - Oct 31, 2025 => Will use exact dates
