FTP Options for Custom Exports

I know this might be a bit obscure and specific, but... our scheduled exports from Absorb (users, enrollments) are extremely important for integration to other systems. It is very important for us to automate the integration as much as possible.


When scheduled exports are placed on the sftp server, they are names with something like: UsersYYYYMMDDhhmmssmmmm.csv


Year, month, and date are generally fine, but the exact time differs from day to day (especially the milliseconds). So, it becomes difficult to write a script to automate pulling the file from the sftp site.


It would be great to be able to specify the date/time format in which files are stored on the sftp server.

      Thank you for submitting your idea to us, I would like to explore an option with you. Currently, our reporting system that generates your reports can take the timestamp off completely for your exports. Do you think that would help you create a script that leverages the timestamp in your SFTP? Let me know!
