6. Choose one of these options:
    
    <table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small "><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Use data date</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">Take all data from the defined date range. For example, all data from the last 90 days.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Modified date:</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">Take only data that changed during the date range. If you only want the changes, use this option.</td></tr></tbody></table>
