Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use the $time_token$ variable in panel searches
Using a single time input with a token, referencing the token in panel searches, and using earliest/latest fields with the token are standard methods. Setting each panel independently does not synchronize, and 'link time' is not a standard feature.
