Info

The following steps will show you how to recreate what was included in the template.

  1. The File Name field allows you to set the file name of the incoming scan. If you set a static name, each new scan will overwrite the last.
    To avoid this, you need a way to assign a unique file name to each new scan.

    1. To achieve this, the template you downloaded appends a timestamp to the filename: “Scan-[time of scan].pdf”

      1. The time-of-scan will be the unique identifier that prevents the over-writing of files.

      2. Click on the File Name field and clear it out. When you click on the field, a popup window will appear: click on the Expression tab of this window.

      3. Copy and paste the following text into the textbox: formatDateTime(addHours(utcNow(), -4),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ') Then click Update.

      4. The dynamic text is now in the field. Place your cursor at the front to add some static text.
        You may need to use your arrow keys to get the cursor to the front of the box.

      5. You need to add .pdf to the end of the name to maintain file integrity.

  2. Leave the File Content field as it is. Changing this may corrupt the resulting file.

    1. If you need to add the dynamic text, click on the field and search in Dynamic content for “Attachments Content”
