The behaviour of the From/To date component appears to be causing a lot of confusion new users - we have had multiple reports mis-selecting dates and/or thinking this is a problem with Sisense.
The problem appears to stem from the way the focus is automatically shifted to speed up input of the 'To' date. This is not expected by new users and causes confusion.
- When a date is selected in the 'From' box...
- If no date set in the 'To' box, move focus to 'To' box and allow the user to immediately select the 'To' Date
- If date already set in 'To' box, do nothing.
So, the first time you set the date range the first click sets the 'From' date, and you can immediately set a 'To' date with a second click. This is handy, but at the same time confusing if you don't realise what it's doing, and in practice is causing complaints.
