Export Date

The Export Date field appears Detail Pages for Approved and Deleted records. Export Date displays the date when record was exported to the incremental update file by the Release Manager using the Custom Update command. If the record not approved or deleted or a Custom Update was not performed since the customized was created, the value of the Export Date field will be null. Since records that roll back to the Approved Action Status are included in incremental updates, an updated export date will be in the Export Date field for the rollback record.  However, in a Deleted rollback record, the Export Date will not change because this type of record is not included in incremental updates.  Export Date is visible on all Detail pages and is displayed on the History Report..

The example shows the changes to the Export Date for a record that was customized after the Export Date functionality was implemented.  The Export Date says null until the record is Approved and exported to the incremental file (Record Version #4.  When the record gets into the Modified state, the Export Date value becomes null and a date does not appear until the record is Deleted and exported to the incremental file (Record Version #9).  When the record rolls back to the Deleted state, the Export Date value does not change because deleted rollback records are not included in incremental updates (Record Version #11).  When the record gets back into the approved state, the Export Date stays null because it was not exported to the incremental update file (Record Version #14).  However, when the record rolls back to the Approved state and is exported to the incremental update file, an Export Date value appears (Record Version #16).

Export Date was implemented with PECS 5. If a record was customized before the Export Date functionality was added, the Export Date for the most recently Approved or Deleted record is set to that record's Action Date. For custom records in all other statuses, the Export Date value is null. In the example below, Export Date functionality was implemented on March 9, 2013. The record has been approved and deleted several times.  The most recent approved record has an Action Date of 3/7/2013, so the Export Date for this record will be set to 3/7/2013.
