Global filter by period (Week / Month / Year) + custom dates on 4 different base blocks

Hello Softr community! :waving_hand:

I have 4 List blocks on the same page, each connected to a different Airtable database (e.g., Contacts, Deals…).

Each block has its own date field.

I want a single control at the top of the page to filter ALL the blocks at once with:

Ideally, I’d like to have 3 buttons + a custom date range:

If I click “Week” → display the last 7 days in 4 blocks
If I click “Month” → current month
If I click “Year” → current year
If I fill in “From” / “To” → custom range

Goal:
To avoid configuring a filter block by block.

Is it possible?

I’m not aware of any options where you can have one block dynamically impact the data displayed in another block to achieve what you are after.

However you could achieve a very similar result by using tabbed containers. Create 3 tabs, week month year, and then on each tab add your blocks with the desired filters already set. This requires a little extra work up front, but should provider the same user experience you are after. This solution wont work for your custom date range.

Thank you for your response, Matthew . It’s not the answer I was expecting, but it’s very good and also addresses the UX issue :slight_smile:

Thank you very much!
