Time Range

The Time Range widget is available for WFS data sources.

The widget filters the data differently if the configuration defines an interval or not. An interval is defined when a value is provided to the Max Property Name.

Interval data

The Time Range widget will only show the features on the map that have a range that overlaps with the widget slider.
