Is there anyway to show the file name of a document (not the Entry Name)? I see where you can select the extension.
Can you explain or give an example Mary as file name is the the entry name usually?
Hi Mary,
In the properties of the document,
Marco,
That File Path is pointing to the location in the Repository file structure. Note that 00000000002.pdf is the Laserfiche renamed document name. I need to know the original file name for the users to query and sort on.
Apart from the LF document name, Laserfiche does not log and store what the original file name was before importing it into Laserfiche. If you need to search and/or sort by the original windows file name, then you should put that into a field on the document.
By default, the entry name matches the original file name. Is there a reason that's being changed? And as Bert noted, you can auto-populate a field with the original file name on import.
The entry of the document is coming in by Forms within a table. The rub is when someone selects multiple files to upload. I solved this by -- in the Save to Repository stem, leaving the document name for the documents as {/_attachment_name} -- note when I tried use this variable to populate the field directly, it was empty). Then reworked the LF workflow to copy the name to a field in the template and used the other field values to create the document name to follow the format we require. The reason for doing this is that all the fields have predefined values they select from drop downs. This keeps the information uniform and consistent.
