Add a column to the Connections page to show the Time period the data loads to so it's easier to update connections to the next Fiscal Year

We have over 225 datalink connections, some of which post the ingested data to a specific month (the beginning of our Fiscal Year). Since there is currently no column to show which month the data will post to, we have to review every connection in...

Can we get the sustainability metrics like CO2 emissions and power consumption in Kwh directly from Cloudability into TBM Studio as part of the existing cloudability connector (cldy_monthly_**) ?

Right now you are providing cloud sustainability API supported by the cost reporting endpoints, but once used, it will lead to another extra table with our Apptio model. Also, I see that these 2 sustainability metrices ( but with blank values) are...
