It would be super helpful to have the timestamp as part of the export file name in Anaplan, especially when clients run reports every day during the budget season.
Is it possible to do? And do automatically?
As per me, I don't think we have any option to change the file names dynamically or any creative way to do that. It always exports by the static name. Inside file we can give the column called timestamp but not as a export file name.
ok. Thank you.
Hi,
We can now do this with Anaplan CloudWorks by setting up Exports Integrations.
All we have to do is - keep the "Overwrite File" checkbox unticked and it creates/drops exports with timestamps so they are unique.
@Dikshant I would like to have the timestamp as a line item/column in the exported file (so not necessarily in the file name).

It seems that it is currently not possible, as per this request:
But I'm curious about your opinion.
Thank you!
Timestamp can automatically updated using 3rd party integration tool like Snap logic, Informatica Cloud, that has in built expressions to derive current datetime automatically. But as we know Anaplan does not have any in built function to derive current date time.
Ok clear, thanks @Dikshant!

Hi all, The Client ID and Client Secret are available, intended for uploading and downloading files. Could anyone advise how to use these credentials DIRECTLY to make API requests? Thank you!
I have A6 as the parent list and two sibling lists: A6.5 and A7. The A7 list includes an attribute that maps to A6.5. In the UX, the user will select A6.5 using a content selector, and the grid (dimensioned by A7) should display only the A7 items associated with that selected A6.5. Since the selector is a page context andβ¦
