# Applying zoom to global timestamp filter

Instead of setting the values of your global timestamp filter manually, there is also the possibility to apply the current zoom range of a multi-chart to your global timestamp filter. 

To do this the following requirements have to be met:

* You need to have a multi-chart (line, bar, area, or scatter)
* The values for the x-axis of the chart need to be of type timestamp
* You must enable either [zooming](/manual/sf-platform/widgets/line-bar-scatter-area-chart.md#zoom-mode) or the zoom navigator for your chart
* The global timestamp filter must be visible

{% hint style="info" %}
You can only pass the zoom range to the global timestamp filter of the section the widget is in.
{% endhint %}

If all of the above requirements are met, and you zoomed into your chart, the following button appears on the top right side of your widget when hovering over the widget:

![Button for applying the zoom](/files/dcGl45O6OKP9dCwXsh1U)

When clicking this button, we take the currently visible timeframe from your chart and apply it to the section's global timestamp filter by using a between filter.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.senseforce.io/manual/sf-platform/dashboards/applying-zoom-to-global-timestamp-filter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
