Time Range Settings

Access time range settings for panels by clicking on Panel Settings > Time Range. Time Range Settings allow you to perform the following:

1. Override dashboard time range

Individual panels can use their own time range configuration. You can use it to override the dashboard time range by enabling Override dashboard time range.

You can use 'Override dashboard time range' to visualize and compare data in different timelines, for example, last month vs this month.
