Assembly Load "Date" option

[c0pp3r]

Hello,

Platform:
NX 7.5
TC 8.3

I am attempting to load an assembly structure applying the "Date" option found just below the revision options.
My impression is that this option when set to a specific date would load the child component/s revision that existed as of my specified date. I have applied this date option along with the "Precise;Any status" and "Any Status;Working" revision rules and am not getting my expected result (Component revisions that are newer than my date are loading).

Can someone elaborate on the "Date" field load option?
What is this intended to do?
What are the pitfalls?

For the future...
What is the Best practice for capturing a product build?
My thought is that we should have ran TCM release on our product structure at the date I am now wanting to see and we could have simply used the "As Saved" load option.
Are "Bookmarks" an option for this?

Thanks in advance.
