An anniversary is a birthday of sorts, a time for reflection and celebration, and we welcome you to join us in commemorating L-Soft's 15th.
L-Soft's journey as a company began in 1994 when Eric Thomas, who invented LISTSERV in 1986, in his own words "founded L-Soft with $3,000 and a laptop in order to further develop LISTSERV."
We would like to thank all LISTSERV at Work readers and our thousands of customers around the world and hope to earn the opportunity to provide our world-class LISTSERV® brand solutions to readers who are not currently using them.
We hope you will enjoy exploring our new interactive tools and special offers, all with a sharp focus on what L-Soft's products enable organizations and people to do: Communicate, Collaborate and Connect.

Q: Is it possible to add a "timestamp" profile field to a dataset that is updated whenever any of the other profile fields are changed?
Answer by Johannes Hubert and Holly Taylor
LISTSERV Maestro Project Manager and Technical Writer,
L-Soft

Simply having a way to keep track of the last date and time that a specific record was updated would be beneficiary. Because of this need, LISTSERV Maestro 4.0-5 and later has made it possible for you to create a "timestamp" that helps you keep your subscriber information up-to-date. This timestamp is created by adding a special derivation rule formula to a derived profile field.
