Note that in the previous table:

Formats shown as single digits (M, D, h) may also be entered as double digits. For example, M could be either 7 or 07 for the seventh month.
In the time-formats column:
- The a character denotes a 12-hour format.
- The absence of an a character denotes a 24-hour format.
- The z character indicates time zone. If the z is present, then the output time will contain a time zone.

Relative times can also be entered in the From and To fields. A valid relative time consists of an number followed by a unit of time, for example, 2 months. Time units can include Hour, Day, Week, Month, and Year.

Remember that these reports are run by using dates that have already occurred. Consequently, even the To date is always a past date. The relative time 4 months would provide report data covering the past 4 months. A report specifying from 9 months to 1 monthincludes data from nine months ago up to one month ago.

NOTE:For Drive Utilization reports, the time range cannot exceed 8 days. That is, the date entered in the To field cannot exceed 8 days from the date entered in the From field. If typing a relative time in the To field, the value cannot exceed 8 days.
