Mapp Intelligence will optimize the file names of your exports next week, as of 12 November 2020. Instead of an internal ID, they now show the export title and a timestamp that shows when the file was generated. This way, you can easily identify the report or analysis you are looking for.

Key Benefits

  • Easily identify the report you are looking for by the export title.
  • Find the latest version immediately by the date included in the file name.
  • The date is the actual timestamp of the calculation. If you generate the file twice, but no data has changed, the file name will be identical. 
  • Illegal characters used in file names will be automatically replaced.

Description

The new file name has the following format:

mapp-%export-title%-%FileCreationTime%_UTC.{csv|xls|pdf}
