# Why am I not able to select more than 6 months at a time?

By default, Hivel provides a selection flexibility of **180 days** for all organizations.

#### Why 180 Days?

* This timeframe aligns with the typical needs of leaders and managers, who often review **two quarters of performance** to analyze trends, identify differences, and take action effectively.

#### Need more flexibility?

* If you’d like to extend the filter beyond 180 days, simply let us know, and we can adjust it to suit your organization’s requirements.

Here’s a quick hack😉: If you want to select a full year in your filters, go to [<mark style="color:purple;">Release Configuration</mark>](https://docs.hivel.ai/faqs/metrics-and-data-faqs/how-to-see-all-the-metrics-by-sprints-or-releases), define the one-year date range, and give it a name (e.g., "Yearly View"). Once saved, it will appear in your regular filters for easy access!
