you are right, last 365 days, 30 days and 7 days are maybe useless. but 
with more buttons (3), perhaps there will be too many items in the 
search view. And the view will look too busy.

To compare different periods, the managers can use group by Day, Month, 
Year. We will check if these buttons group data by appropriate kind of 
date (creation, expected, ...). If you have suggestions for some 
reports, feel free to tell us.

About filter Buttons, we propose Year, Month and Month -1 and in 
accounting, we will use Period instead of Month.

For any other kind of filter, the manager can use different filter 
options. Search views in report give a lot of possibilities.

I hope this solution will be useful. Feel free to tell us if you think 
it won't. But the goal is also to avoid cluttering the view and keep 
consistency between the different views.
