Association Date Agent Variable: Accepts any agent variable that returns a local date. For example you could have an Assign Variable as the first agent action; it has a saved query that returns last sighting date (or any other date for that matter) on the asset. The next action could be Increment Bucket - Equipment or Link Equipment to Bucket and it can use the agent variable defined above in the association date agent variable field. If this field is provided, the value returned will be used as association date. If not, and the agent event on which the agent is listening to happens to be a tracking event, the value of this event_date will be used. Otherwise if the agent is not a tracking event, the current local date is used.
