Version 3.7 offers the Effective date upload field for files and maps. This can be useful for measurements or interpretations linked to a past date such as data acquisition date. By default, the date is set to the day of upload, but can be changed to a past one. Effective dates can also be used as a search filter in the File manager and in the Maps/plans/sections pages.
Note: Data imported prior to version 3.7 will be set to match the upload date but this field can be edited any time.
