File Name Tips

The file names applied to the documents you upload to FileThis do not really matter. With cabinets, tags, text searches, upload dates and relevant dates, you can find any file by content in addition to file name. For various reasons, however, you might want to use logical, consistent file names. Tips include:

• Include a topic, date, and any details in the file name as FileThis does with fetched documents. For example, "AnnTaylor 5509 2013-10-07.pdf" indicates the creditor Ann Taylor, invoice 5509, statement for July 10, 2013. File names such as these let you identify documents at a glance, before and after you upload them to FileThis.

• If you use logical file names, when you display documents alphabetically, the file names will look neat and make sense.

• When scanning batches of documents with a scanner that has a document feeder, the scanner software may name the files for you (with names such as Scan1, Scan2, etc.). These names are not useful in terms of organization, so you may want to change these.
