# 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.
