## Adjust the Focus Time

The current date/time displayed reflects the focus time for the selected data, allowing you to use the data grid to review what was happening during a certain date and time range. Use the following methods to change the focus time:

- Hover over the orange bar to display the move cursor, then drag the entire orange bar
- Pull and drag either end of the orange bar to change the end or start date/time
- Manually change the start or end date/time by placing your cursor in either of the date/time fields to display a blue highlight. Then enter the desired focus time. When you are done, you must click outside of the field for your change to take effect.
- Select a time frame from the drop-down **Window** field (default is custom):
