Guidelines for Applying Effective Dates to Repositories

Applying future date to a repository is optional. The following guidelines help you to apply the future date to repositories:

  • To enable future date support for a repository, add predefined EFFECTIVEDATE attribute to the repository.
  • When you create the EFFECTIVEDATE attribute for the first time, the default display name appears for each of these attributes after you click the OK button on the Attributes Details dialog. The default display name of these attributes are as follows:
    • EFFECTIVEDATE: Effective Date

      You can change the display name of the EFFECTIVEDATE attribute while modifying the EFFECTIVEDATE attribute.

  • If you do not apply an effective date to a record, it is internally set to the current system date.
