Dynamic Naming of Output File

beth.kirby

Hi,

Is it possible to have a dynamic text element of the naming of an output file. I understand that the naming can consist of a text and date stamp, however does the text need to be static or can it be dynamic based on content of the output file.

I essentially want to extract a reporting date from the output to be included in the name of the file. This report date will change with each run of the workflow. Is it possible to include this changing report date in the text element of the output file? Note the report date is not the same as a current time stamp.

Thanks

Hi Beth

The Export step allows you build up the filename using text and date (components not necessarily a timestamp)

You can also use a Workflow Parameter https://docs.experianaperture.io/data-quality/aperture-data-studio-v2/get-started/create-a-workflow/#workflowparameters

This will allow you to specify a value at Run time
