          • Preset is a modifier rule that will automatically update the field every time you open the dashboard.

          • Value gives you two options:

          • Exact date sets a single point in the calendar.

          • Offset from the current date gives you a tool to create a custom modifier rule.

   • Input field

     This creates a field for manual input.
