File names and paths are generated automatically during export, based on the options you specify. You can set file naming options for both data files and image files. You can set a data-file naming template when exporting to files, and an image-file naming template when exporting to files, an ODBC-compatible database, SharePoint, or image files. When working with document sets, the file naming options selected for original fields also apply to index image fields. Use the Destination and File Naming Template dialog box to set file naming options and paths. Depending on the export type, click Edit (to the left of the file-naming-template field) or File Naming Options to open it. In the View field, choose how to build the template.

Enter a template in the File name template field. It can include a fixed part and tags that are replaced with file-specific information. Type tags manually or use the Add tag and Delete tag buttons.
Tag names are case-sensitive.
Make sure your options do not produce empty file names. FlexiCapture shows a warning if they might.
If document images are exported together with data, the same template can name both. Select Same as data in the Image Export Settings section of the Destination and File Naming Template dialog box.
