When applicable, you can choose to share the object using a relative or an absolute time range:
19+
20+
* **Relative time range**: The link shows current data. For example, if you share a "Last 7 days" view, users will see the most recent 7 days when they open the link.
21+
* **Absolute time range** (default): The link shows a fixed time period. For example, if you share a "Last 7 days" view on January 7, 2025, the link will always show that exact week of January 1-7, 2025, regardless of when users open the link.

TIP: When sharing an object with unsaved changes, you get a temporary link that might break in the future, for example in case of upgrade. Save the object to get a permanent link instead.
