Index File Name Generation

Apart from extracting data, we also have the option of having our file names of the output documents generated automatically. For this we go to the option "File name builder".
We can now see on the left side the different components that are available to us. The components determine which parameters are used in the creation of the file name.
To add components to the compilation, we click with the left mouse button in our desired components and press in the marked arrow. We have chosen 3 components: Invoice number, Date and Counter. The special thing here is that we can also use our created fields as components, as is the case here with the invoice number. On the lower left side we can see a preview, which shows an example of how our file name will look after extraction.
To separate the already added components we can drag in the "Separator". The separator is important and helps to keep track of the file name. We can also edit the format of our components. For example, with the separator we can choose which character to use to separate the other parameters (fill character). The width determines how wide the symbol is.
You may define the prefix in the "Fallback" column if the recognition is failed in this portion. If the recognition results are not equal in length, you may add the length through fill character, and define the total length in the Width column.
When all documents have been successfully validated, they are added to the output folder. Here we can see our 3 (5 including separator) selected components in the file name of each selected file.
