 You can use relative terms like 'today', 'tomorrow' or '3 days ago'
 in the
 time fields for date based searches.  They're interpreted every time
 the
 search is run.  That should be sufficient for you to build your
 dashboards.

Hello, MarcAnthony. If you are trying to use relative search terms
like Matthew described, there is a thread in the archives that might
help you; take a look at the Relative Dates in Search thread here:

 Just select a Queue first.
 RT needs to know which CFs to display (based on the queue) unless
