# FromDate

The lower date limit (inclusive) for this date range. This parameter applies only when you set DistributeByDate to `True`.

NOTE: You must set only one of `FromDate` and FromRelative for a particular `[DateRangeN]` configuration. If you do not set either value for a particular date range, DIH treats the lower end of the range as open-ended.

You must specify the date in a format that is configured in the DateFormatCSVs configuration parameter. The date must be within the Unix epoch range (January 1 1970 to January 19 2038).

DIH indexes documents with dates in this range into the child servers that you specify in the Engines parameter for this configuration section.

Default: | YYYY/MM/DD
Required: | No
