Folder and File Naming Restriction's
Folder Naming Convention Implemented
- Minimum Length: 5 characters
- Maximum Length: 50 characters
- It may not end with any special characters, including a periodNumbering Folders:
- Pad Numbers with Leading Zeros: Use leading zeros for numeric values to maintain proper order (e.g.,
001
,002
instead of1
,2
). - Separate Sections with Delimiters: For clarity, use hyphens, underscores, or spaces to separate numeric and alphabetic parts.
- Consistent Case for Letters: Stick to uppercase or lowercase letters throughout the structure.
- Avoid Special Characters: Limit special characters to prevent compatibility issues across systems.
- Categorize Logically: If applicable, organize folders into parent-child relationships based on categories.
Guidelines:
- Use meaningful and descriptive names that convey the folder's content or purpose.
- Avoid special characters, spaces, or symbols that may cause issues with different operating systems or applications.
- Consider using camel case or underscores for multi-word folder names (e.g., "projectFiles" will be "project_files"). The upload process will remove invalid characters and add underscores.
File Naming Convention Implemented:
- Minimum Length: 5 characters
- Maximum Length: 100 characters
Guidelines:
- Use a combination of letters, numbers, and, if necessary, underscores or hyphens.
- Include relevant information such as the project name, date, and brief description to make the file easily identifiable.
- Avoid using special characters that cause compatibility issues. If used, the system will strip during upload.
Examples:
- Good file name: project_report_2023Q1_final.docx
- Example to avoid: document!!!.pdf
Automation:
You will experience checks and validations during the folder and file creation process for automated enforcement of these standards in your Vault Room app. If a user tries to create a folder or file that does not adhere to the specified naming convention, the app should provide a clear error message explaining the requirements or have corrected invalid uses.
