Can you create a view using dynamic filter criteria?

Posted on by

I am trying to create a view for a sales manager where he would like to see all Opportunities that have expired estimated close dates.  However, when I create the view, I cannot say Estimated close date Is older than "today".  Does this mean I will have to change to the view manually each day to keep it updated?  Any help is appreciated.

    you are correct you don't want to type (hard code) an actual date but you want to base it on a date field held on the opportunity.

    So I have done an advanced find for opportunities where

    closed date is Last X days (you could have last x weeks)

    status = open

    this will show all the opportunities where the opportunities have the date which is the last X (number) of days and have the status of active.

    so this should find the opportunities with a date that is older than today

    There is a filter called 'Last X Days'  (or 'Last X Months'  or years) I think you can use this filter . The last days you can give as anything for (eg:365 days for till a year back).

    Thanks Ben.  But I do not have the option for "Older than today"  

    The closest I do have is "On or Before" and I have to insert a specific date.  However if I insert today's date, I will have to continuously change it to pull in newly expired opps with expired estimated close dates.

    There are some dynamic choices for date fields.

    There is older than today

    Date older than x months

    Date this week.

    Etc

    I think you should be able to create the view you want
