How can I make a date append to my file name when report is downloaded?

[mrsuave]

I have a report DataPage and have File format PDF and Excel checked for download options. Is there a way for me to make the date/current date appear when  the file is downloaded?

@mrsuave- I believe you can select on the picker icon and use the [@cbTimestamp*] if you wanted to have the Date to appear or when the file is created. This is what it looks like (see attached screenshot) I discovered this on this new article and I think it is part of the new release. Here is the link for any one that needs this: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/pdf-download/pdf-download/

There use to be a checkbox next to where you name the download in Download Options that would append the current date to the name. But, for some reason, they deleted that and changed it out without telling anyone. I was also looking for this today. Now, you need to click on the 'field picker' next to the name box in Download Options and select the timestamp option.

I think it was changed when they had a new release. Maybe they incorporated it when they expanded the file name option..

Hello Everyone,

Just to add on this. You can also check this  howto documentation when it comes to using the timestamp. You can set it up inside your table to be shown on your pdf or DataPage. https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/common-customizations/stamp-the-time-url-or-ip-address-to-new-and-updated-records/
