Automated date in output

M.Lambert

I wonder if there is any way of setting up in an automation the Take Snapshot step with the date information on it. Like for example:

ADSExtrac_20241113.csv

Can't you just make it a multi-batch dataset? Then the timestamp will be associated with the row. You can then review and filter on specific dates. Not sure on your needs, but that's what I do.

Hi James, I tried that but I needed the timestamp or the date to be on the name file, I don't want to add another column to my output, not sure if this is even possible. 😐️

This question is confusing as the Take snapshot step will store data in a Dataset within Aperture. If you want to create a file you need the Export step and yes you can include dynamic values like dates and workflow parameters in the filename: https://docs.experianaperture.io/data-quality/hosted-aperture-data-studio/data-studio-objects/workflows/#export_exportingtoafile~workflow-steps
