Two months ago,
we launched our new date range selector in Databox, giving you the ability to select any available date range when viewing your Databoards and eliminating the need to pre-select Date Ranges when designing your Databoards.
This change was a necessary step before releasing our long-awaited ‘Custom Date Ranges’ (CDR) feature, which will give you the ability to select a ‘from’ and ‘to’ date to view your data within any time frame, as well as rolling date ranges for all Pus and Business customers. This will also allow us to introduce fiscal calendar capabilities to all Business customers.
As of today, Custom Date Ranges are available for Google Search Console and Google My Business for all Plus and Business customers.
Watch the video below to see how it works:

Enabling you to pick a Date Range on the fly may seem like a small change on the surface. But, to enable our customers to immediately pull data for any possible date range, we had to drastically improve our data fetching and storage infrastructure and rewrite every Databox feature.
We also must rewrite each integration, which is what the majority of our product team has been doing for the last several months. Once each integration is rewritten, validated and tested, we begin migrating each customer’s data and their connections to the new infrastructure and integration.
This is a massive migration that involves moving thousands of customers, tens of thousands of Data Source Connections, and trillions of rows of data.
In order to minimize disruption, we’ll be rolling out just a few integrations per week. Given the progress we’ve made over the last several weeks in rewriting integrations, we expect that our most popular integrations will be moved over for all customers in the next several weeks, which will account for more than 70% of our Data Source connections.
To see which Data Sources are already live, in progress or planned next, visit our brand-new
roadmap site. To receive a notification when an integration goes fully live, just vote for that integration. (You can vote for as many as you’d like.)
As we roll out each new integration, we follow a rigorous testing and validation process. However. if you notice any performance issues or data discrepancies in your account, please report them to
[email protected] as soon as possible. We will continue to transparently report any system-wide issues at
status.databox.com and resolve them with the highest priority.
