How do I enable or disable the file naming convention for each folder?

To enable or disable the file naming convention for each folder, you must first configure a setting in the project settings:

Notes: To perform this action, you need the “Project Admin” right. => What can project admins do? In addition, the file naming convention must be enabled. => How does the file naming convention work?

Open the Project Settings (1.) and scroll down to the “File Naming Conventions” section. Click the Edit button there (2.).

A new window will open. Here, you can turn on or off the “Deactivatable per folder” option by clicking (1.) the corresponding button. Then click Save (2.).

Once you have enabled the “Deactivatable per folder” option, you can enable or disable it independently for each folder.

Note: To use this feature, you need write rights to the relevant folder. => Rights management and creation of the project folders

Navigate to the desired folder, click the 3 dots (1.), and then click Naming convention on (2.).

The setting will then change to “Name Convention Off.” The file naming convention is now disabled for this folder. To re-enable it, click Naming Convention Off.
