Date Range Search
This step configures a date range search comparison within the DataAssist Search server behavior based on selecting Date Range when adding a search comparison in step 2 of the DataAssist Search Wizard: Define your DataAssist Search.
A single date database column is searched against using a time span comparison specified through a minimum date form element and maximum date form element. The results returned depend on whether the selected column in a given record contains a date that falls within the specified span of time.
Note: The comparisons configured using this wizard are designed for standard implementations. Advanced search configurations can be achieved by either editing the application of the DataAssist Search server behavior applied to your results page by this wizard, or by applying this server behavior directly to your results page.
