Search possibilities as "Received X weeks ago" or "Available X weeks ago"
Libraries sometimes wish to build logical sets from constantly changing data. For example, a logical set of items received in the last 30 days or a logical set of ebook portfolios activated in the last 15 days. The "Receiving date" (Physical items) and "Activation Date" (Electronic portfolios) search indexes only accept a specific date (selectable from a calendar) and only allow the operators "Equals", "Not Equals", "Before", "After", "Is Empty", and "Is Not Empty". It is therefore not possible to build 100% logical sets based on items received in the last 3 weeks and associate them with a collection for the Collection Discovery feature, for example with a view to promoting that content. Using Analytics is not necessarily the best way of doing things like this.
On the other hand, Rialto offers powerful search indexes such as "Added X weeks ago", "Available X weeks ago" or "Published X years ago" and operators "Less than or equal to", "Equal to" and "Greater than or equal to". Combining the two creates relevant logical sets that are updated automatically.
It should be possible to search the Alma Repository using an approach similar to that used in Rialto.

There's the facet group "New records" in Primo, with "last week", "last month" and "last three months", but they can't be used to build a set that then populates the logical collection.
