Current Date Display #

Introduction #

The Current Date Display is a lightweight utility component that shows the current date on a dashboard. Each date segment — year, month, and day — can be individually toggled and positioned, providing a flexible, theme-aware date label suitable for headers, report covers, and contextual banners.

Features #

  • Independently toggle year, month, and day visibility
  • Position each segment at the start, middle, or end of the layout
  • Month display formats: numeric, short name (e.g., May), or full name (e.g., May)
  • Optional year suffix for custom labeling
  • Optional week-of-year indicator
  • “Show finished week” and “show finished month” options for period-aligned display
  • Theme-aware styling

Use Cases #

  • Adding a date stamp to a dashboard or printed report
  • Providing context next to KPI tiles or charts that summarize the current period
  • Showing week-of-year alongside the date for operational dashboards
  • Aligning a dashboard heading with the reporting period currently in view
