# 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 Checkr Money'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. While the current month has no bank data yet, Cash Flow opens on **Last Month** instead; the month you choose stays selected. 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 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>
