Note:

Though RPASCE supports a string for position IDs, for calendar position week, it is preferred to use the date format YYYYMMDD. If the customer uses RAP integration to get the data, the day and week position IDs at which the data needs to be stored are in YYYYMMDD format.

Note:

For non-template customers, it is also recommended to align with the GA Calendar Hierarchy structure for the dimension names for day, week, mnth, qrtr, half, and year so that they can upgrade/implement other GA solutions in a multi-app environment. They can use different labels. The lowest dimension should be day and it is mandatory. The rest of the dimensions are optional and their equivalents should be named accordingly.
