The Format Date\/Time object takes a variable as input, the variable is the current time in yyyy-MM-dd h:m:s format. The Format Date\/Time object then re-format the time and adjust the output date with minus 7 days.<\/p>\n There is a junction object in the policy too.

Instead I use a Append File object to write all alerts to a temp text file. On the other side of the junction object I pick up all the data again with the Get Lines object, the rest of the policy will then only run once.
