Can we implement the feature “Global time selector in dashboard” in our custom widget. The link ([https://www.cumulocity.com/guides/10.18.0/users-guide/cockpit/#global-time-context](https://www.cumulocity.com/guides/10.18.0/users-guide/cockpit/#global-time-context)) available in c8y document, is not working

Hi @Christian_Guether1 ,

Any luck about how to get date selection dropdown in back of the widget, as discussed on last call. Here I attached the screenshot for your reference.

Hi Ravi,

you will need to implement your own dropdown selection to configure the global time context as part of your widget using the documented properties. The global time context dropdown is not displayed in a custom widget configuration, even if global time context is set in the widget meta-configuration.
