Configure Project-Specific Naming Convention

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions

  • You can add custom fields to the naming convention. You will need to select fallback values for each field should an assets not have the custom field in their fieldset.

  • The Project level naming convention is applied to all assets created in that project.

  • If an asset is created at the Company level and then assigned to a project with a different naming convention than the one set at the Company level, the Project level naming convention is applied to the asset.

  • In the Company level Assets tool, assets retain the project level naming convention.
