What is File Pattern Matching?
File pattern matching is an option that comes prebuilt into the Publication Space that allows you to automatically populate standard meta data for the documents you are uploading based on the name of the file that you are uploading to iTWO cx.
Using this you can populate the:
- Document Number.
- Revision.
- Title.
How Does File Pattern Matching Work?
1. Upload a document with format based on the table below.
2. In the Upload page you will notice that User Field values are prepopulated before clicking upload - based on the file name.
3. Click Upload.
4. The values are populated on the Publication space.
