For calendars, timelines, etc. on the interface editor, we currently have three options to configure the initial view:
- Closest job to today
- Today
- Exact date
My problem is that the only dynamic settings (1 and 2) put the focus of the timeline/calendar in the future. For example, in a 2-week calendar view, focusing on "Today" aligns the current week to the top row, and next week to the bottom row. This is great for forward-facing projects, but I need the calendar to show this week and last week.
The only solution is to use option 3 (Exact date) and do update the hard-coded date at the beginning of each week. I have an alarm scheduled to remind me to do this for all of my dashboards each Monday morning... not ideal.
I propose a few more options/settings for the initial view in these interface elements. The simplest would be the ability to modify one of the existing dynamic dates--for example "[One week after] the closest job to today"
