The Auto-Name Configuration dialog box allows you to configure an Auto-Name string for documents using variables containing data about each document and/or static text. The Auto-Name strings configured in this dialog box are used to identify each document inside the Client module and in distributed statements.
Auto-Name strings are limited to 150 characters.
If the Auto-Name is used as the file name for documents saved or e-mailed outside of OnBase, the following characters are replaced with underscores: *|/\<>:?
To configure an Auto-Name string for a document:
-
Open the appropriate dialog box for configuring the Auto-Name string. The areas in the software that use the Auto-Name strings are listed in the Overview of this Appendix.
- The Auto-Name field at the top holds the name string that is used to generate each document's name. The Auto-Name string is determined by static text and symbols, representing specific information about each document. The symbols can be distinguished from static text by the % before the each symbol.
-
The Symbols Used section displays the available variables. Click inside the field and type the symbol or click the symbol's button to add it to the Auto-Name field.
The following variables are available for use in Auto-Name strings:
