Reflect lets you adapt analysis periods to your internal calendar. By default, the calendar year runs from January 1 to December 31.
Configuration
If your fiscal year starts in another month, ask the Reflect team to configure that starting month.
💡 Administrators can view this setting in Workspace → Preferences → Datepicker. Only the Reflect team can change it.
For other workspace settings, see the Preferences guide.
Calendar changes
The configured month determines the years and quarters offered in your dashboard calendar:
Years are labelled Fiscal Year.
Quarters, Year to date and Quarter to date are labelled (FY).
“To date” means from the start of the year or quarter up to today.
For example, if the fiscal year starts in April, 2026 (Fiscal Year) covers April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Check the selected period’s dates before comparing figures.
Data query builder dimensions
In the Data query builder, fiscal mode adds dimensions in the Time category, such as Fiscal quarter or Month of the fiscal year. Calendar dimensions remain available.
Choose a fiscal dimension to group results by your fiscal year. The available choices also depend on the selected period and measures.
Legal reports
When you create a report, the suggested periods use the workspace calendar. Check the displayed dates before generating the report. If you need different periods, contact the Reflect team.
The BDESE guide explains how to choose the report year and the Realized and Trend year settings.
