Cloud works AWS S3 Automatic file selection from dropdown

Store Start Date and Time (UTC) for Actions/Process Indefinitely
Reviewing past models or model history (archived) for even our current live models the Start Date and Time (UTC) for Actions/Processes is not populated for anything that's been run more than ~1 month ago.

Maxmise compatibility for exports containing dates and periods
Anaplan is using a unique date format “1 Jan 22” and “Jan 22” as opposed to “2022-01-01” and “2022-01”, which are more common in data science. When Anaplan data containing dates and periods (e.g. the daily traffic per shop) is exported to another system (in this example I use Google BigQuery with the CloudWorks Connector),…
