Search using Date Fields

When searching for a file or files, enter data into the CC Agenda Date field to limit the search results to only include files which have or will appear on a Council agenda.

The CC Agenda Date field and other Legistar date fields accept any of the following data when searching:

  • date
  • date range
  • formula
  • any combination of the above options

Enter a Date

If the specific date is known, enter the date into the date field.

Use Beginning and End Dates

To find files in a specific time period, enter specific beginning and end dates, separated by the word "to".

For example:

  • 1/1/25 to 5/15/25

Use a Formula

For additional search options, you can use variables in any date field. Use any of the following variables in a formula to search a date or date range.

  • D = day
  • W = week
  • M = month
  • Y = year
  • T = today.

When creating a date formula, use a negative symbol "-" to represent dates in the past and the positive symbol "+" to represent dates in the future. Additionally, you can create a date range using two formulas or by using a specific date in combination with a formula.

For example:

  • Enter -3M to T in the File Created Date to search on files created 3 months in the past to today
  • Enter -1Y to 1/1/## (where ## represents the current year) in the CC Agenda Date field to search on files which appeared on the council agenda between 1 year ago and January 1 of the current year
