Facet configurations enable you to refine the results of your facet filters further into bins or ranges. Example: As a recruiter, you can create a facet configuration that filters for candidates within 50 miles. Facet configuration options are available for currency, date, and numeric field types and for certain hierarchy fields.
You can't apply facet configurations on composite and simple reports.
Only the creator of a facet configuration can view, edit, and delete it.

      To Value
       of -1 indicates a range of 1 week before the current day.
    • A
