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

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

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 preparation for the next Fiscal Year.  We have added "posts to CM" (Current Month) or "PM" (Previous Month) or "July" to the name of each connector to make it easier but if we miss updating one of the "July" connectors to the next year, it will overwrite last year's data.  If there were a column that listed the time period, it would help tremendously.  Even if it just says Current Month, Previous Month or whatever month is selected in the time period on the Destination tab, so we can filter and make updates faster, it would save Admins a lot of time with updates.
