# Customizing Time Ranges

> Cash Flow, Spending, and other views let you change the period the charts cover - the exact options differ by view and by platform.

Most of MyTruv's data views (Cash Flow, Spending, Income trends) let you change the period the charts cover. The exact options - and the control itself - differ by view and platform. This article maps out what you'll see.

## Cash Flow time range

<Note>
  **On the web** - Cash Flow is **month-based**. The selector offers **This Month** (the default), **Last Month**, and a **More** dropdown listing the 6 most recent past months by name. Switching changes the whole page to that single month - Sankey, metric cards, and category breakdown all reflect that month.

  **On iOS** - Cash Flow uses a **period-length** segmented control with four options: **30D**, **3M**, **6M**, **1Y**. The Net cash flow bar chart re-bins to match (one bar per day at 30D, per week at 3M, per month at 6M / 1Y), and the Total net / Avg/month numbers recompute.
</Note>

## Spending time range

<Note>
  **On the web** - Spending uses pill buttons labeled **Days**, **Weeks**, **Months**, and **Year**. Each option covers the last 14 of that unit (so "Days" = last 14 days, "Year" = the last year shown in quarters). Default is **Weeks**.

  **On iOS** - Spending uses the same period-length control as Cash Flow: **30D**, **3M**, **6M**, **1Y**.

## Picking the right range

Whichever surface you're on, the same intuition applies:

* A **short range** (the current month, the last 30 days, or "Days" on web Spending) is best for day-to-day awareness and reacting to what just happened
* A **medium range** (3-6 months, or "Weeks" / "Months" on web Spending) is best for spotting trends and seasonal patterns
* A **long range** (1 year, or "Year" on web Spending) gives the big-picture view of your financial year

## Why the controls differ

Web Cash Flow snaps to calendar months because the **Savings Rate** and the **Sankey** are most useful when comparing one billing month against another. iOS Cash Flow uses rolling periods (30D / 3M / 6M / 1Y) because the chart is a continuous bar trend rather than a per-month snapshot. Both answer the same question - "how did money move during this period?" - just with different reference frames.

<Tip>Start with the default (the current month on web, 30D on iOS) for day-to-day awareness, and zoom out to longer ranges when you want to spot patterns.</Tip>
