How to label filters that filter on overlapping date ranges

Question

I am looking for the appropropriate labeling for filters that search an event that is active within the provided date range.

Filters:
Ends after <date input>
Starts before <date input>

Result:
+-----+------+---------+
| ... | From | Through |
+-----+------+---------+

The (pseudocode) implementation of these filters is as follows:

endsAfter.HasValue && endsAfter <= Through
startsBefore.HasValue && startsBefore >= From

I have labeled them Ends after and Starts before for now but I'm wondering if there are better alternatives.

Answer 1

The labels Ends after and Starts before make sense for you as the developer. You need to search for events that:

1. End after the first date in the date range
2. Start before the last date in the date range

The users just wants to see what events are active during a number of days (weeks / whatever). I would suggest:

Show events that are active between [start-date-input] and [end-date-input]

Or at least something in the same line.
You could also try using a date range selector.

Good luck.
