To Create a File Naming Convention Component

  1. Expand Renditions > Rendition Profile Components.
  2. Right-click Output File Naming Conventions and select New > File Name.

    The Output File Naming Convention dialog opens.

  3. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the component.
  4. (Optional) In the Description field, enter a description for the component.
  5. (Optional) In the Rendition document name pattern field, define the naming convention that will be used to generate the names of the new rendition documents.
  6. In the Rendition base file name pattern field, define the naming convention that will be used to generate the names of the new rendition files.
  7. (Optional) In the Rendition description pattern field, define the naming convention that will be used to generate the descriptions of the new rendition documents.

    To define any of the naming conventions above, you can manually enter the text and/or variables you want to use directly in the text field (for example, if you already know the syntax of the available variables). If you want to select from a list of system and ProjectWise variables, click the Add Symbol button to the right of each text field, which opens the Add Symbol dialog. The variable you select from the dialog will be inserted wherever your cursor is placed in the text field.

  8. (Optional) Turn on Do not add rendition extension to document name if you do not want the extension of the new rendition file to be appended to the name of the new rendition document.
  9. Click OK.
