File Naming Convention Rules

When adding a file to the materials library using Symbonic's Automatic Naming Convention Module, the file name will take on the following:

  • The Project Code (This is located in the "Edit" field of the project under "Project Code")
    • i.e "EX1"
  • The Folder Name (Whichever folder you are adding your file)
    • i.e "Scripts" or "Script Revisions"
  • The Draft Date
    • Upon uploading a file, a Draft Date prompt will appear after uploading the file, that will ask exactly when the draft date is and will then add it to the file metadata and the file name.
  • If you add a file named "script.pdf" to your materials library with the Project Code "EX1" into the folder named "Script Revisions" with the date 1/23/23 it will upload like this:
  • EX1 - Script Revisions - 1.23.23.pdf

NOTE: If you move the file to a different folder it will take on the name of the new folder

  • i.e. If you move EX1 - Script Revisions - 1.23.23 from the Script Revisions folder to the Final Draft folder the new name will be EX1 - Final Draft - 1.23.23
