Fill in the "<img src="/files/1fVMjIOT6Aejfj1Cv1RQ" alt="" data-size="line"> Start Date" and "<img src="/files/W2x4STpA1a2lph15rS29" alt="" data-size="line"> End Date" fields to select a time period. For example, enter `11.06.2023` as the start date and `12.06.2023` as the end date. Click anywhere outside the fields to activate the query without pressing the Enter key. Enter the same start and end dates to view messages from a single day. To reset the selected dates, click the "<img src="/files/PVmhZx8PbkQpK9WVxbkm" alt="" data-size="line"> Reset Dates" button.
