Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I'd like to have the option to select a time range and different resolution of the time axis in the balance chart of an account. I made a prototype:

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

There are two controls here:

  • Time range
  • Time resolution

The naive solution would be to add two dropdowns to the balance chart, but this might clutter the interface too much. The prototype I made just provides a series of predefined options:

  • 30 days with 1 day resolution
  • 3 months with 1 day resolution
  • 6 months with 1 month resolution
  • 1 year with 1 month resolution
  • All (or 18 months, whichever is larger) with 1 month resolution

As I haven't contributed much to the codebase, I think it would be best to open a discussion on this topic before proposing a solution.
