To change the anchor month in Extrack Reports, use the "Anchor:" control near the top — it is a native HTML month/year picker (aria-label "Anchor month"). Pick any month. The 12-month window shifts to centre on it (5 months before, the anchor, 6 after). Useful for reviewing a specific past quarter or for planning a future quarter against existing schedules.

Steps

  1. Find the "Anchor:" control

    Near the top of the Reports page. A native month/year input.

  2. Pick a month and year

    Any month — past or future. The chart and section headings update.

  3. Read the section titles

    When the anchor is the current month, sections read "Past 5 months + this month" / "Next 6 months (expected)". For any other anchor, sections read "Posted (in window)" / "Expected (in window)".

Frequently asked

How do I return to "now"?

Set the anchor month back to the current month using the picker.
