IMPORTANT: We highly recommend that you replace the older date columns in your Table, Tile, Canvas, and Story reports with their newer version, which are time zone resilient. Additionally, you must use only the newer version of the date fields in all your future reports. If your required actions are not carried out before the platform time is changed to UTC 30 days prior to your transition to the hyperscale environment, then you may incur potential issues. Reports which included fields in local time could start bringing time in UTC instead.
