Populating a Date List

  1. If the date list is not open, click Settings > Date Lists, and in the Manage Date Lists dialog box, select the date list.
  2. In the Entries box, type one date per line. Use the following format:

    YYYY-MM-DD

    Asterisk (*) wildcard is allowed in the year and month places.

    # character designates a comment line, which is ignored when MOVEit Automation uses the date list. As a best practice, use comment lines for readability and documentation. See the example.
