## Introduction

Would you like to customize date ranges for the WPForms Dashboard Widget? Using a small PHP snippet you can easily add as many different date ranges as you’d like. In this tutorial, we’re going to walk you through how to customize these date ranges so that you can get exactly what you need for your easy view reporting.

By default, the widget will allow you to choose a **7** or **30** date range for your form entry counts.

function wpf_dev_dash_widget_timespan_options( $options ) {

    $options[] = 90;

    return $options;

}

add_filter( 'wpforms_dash_widget_timespan_options', 'wpf_dev_dash_widget_timespan_options', 10, 1 );
```

## Viewing the changes

Click **Dashboard** from the WordPress admin menu on the left and now you’ll see you have a new option in the dropdown of **90 days** in the **Total Entries by Form** dropdown.

## FAQ

#### Q: Can I add more ranges?

**A:** Absolutely! Here’s an example of including a **60** day range as well as the **90** day range.

```

/**
 * Adding 60 and 90 day range to the dashboard widget time span.
 *
 * @link https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-add-an-additional-time-span-to-the-dashboard-widget/
 */

function wpf_dev_dash_widget_timespan_options( $options ) {

    $options[] = 60;
    $options[] = 90;

    return $options;

}

add_filter( 'wpforms_dash_widget_timespan_options', 'wpf_dev_dash_widget_timespan_options', 30, 1 );
```

#### Q: Will this also change the Entries screen?

**A:** No, this filter will only change the dashboard widget on the main WordPress **Dashboard** screen.
