Dynamic File Name

The file name of a generated document can be defined dynamically using a data expression.

By default, the file name is the same as the template name. You can override it in the template settings using expressions.

Where to find Dynamic File Name​

The file name can be configured in the template settings.

Dynamic File Name configuration

How it works​

  • The file name is evaluated during document generation
  • You can combine static text with dynamic values
  • Expressions follow the same rules as other parts of the template

Examples​

Invoice number with leading zeroes​

CONCAT("Invoice_INV", NUM(invoiceNumber, 6))

Result:

Invoice_INV002031

File name with today's date​

CONCAT("Report_", DATE(TODAY(), "yyyy-MM-dd"))

Result:

Report_2022-02-01

When to use Dynamic File Name​

Use dynamic file names when you need to:

  • generate unique document names
  • include identifiers such as invoice numbers
  • include dates or other dynamic values
