3 years ago +1, good idea, and I also have to do the same thing. But I suggest the easiest way to implement this in UI.
1) Firstly user select wider period of datetime range (ex. 6 month or 1 year) 2) Find interested peak or other interested data on graph 3) Zoom in (magnify) the selection on graph in any cell on dashboard 4) Press some kind of "recalculate" button, after this query will be recalculated with zoomed datetime range and also autowindow mean values will be also recalculated
Proposal: A UX change to the Custom Time Range selector to allow it to be dragged.
Current behavior: When selecting Custom Time Range, the PopUp Date Selector often blocks the data. Making it hard to pick an exact time if the user is trying to narrow in on a specific time range.
Desired behavior: The ability to drag/move the Custom Time Range PopUp box within the Data Explorer.
Alternatives considered: The ability to click a timestamp in the rawdata view and have it populate the Start time.
Use case: During data exploration, I find myself following these steps: -executing a generic query with a broad time range -wanting to easily narrow in on a specific time range, but having to write the timestamps down, so that I can specify them in the date picker. The following picture demonstrates how I can't view the hidden data covered by the date picker.
