04 Nov 2020 Mapp Intelligence will optimize the file names of your exports next week, as of 12 November 2020. Instead of an internal ID, they now show the export title and a timestamp that shows when the file was generated. This way, you can easily identify the report or analysis you are looking for.
Key Benefits
Easily identify the report you are looking for by the export title.
Find the latest version immediately by the date included in the file name.
The date is the actual timestamp of the calculation. If you generate the file twice, but no data has changed, the file name will be identical.
Illegal characters used in file names will be automatically replaced.
Description
The new file name has the following format:
mapp-%export-title%-%FileCreationTime%_UTC.{csv|xls|pdf}
Element | Description |
|---|---|
export-title | The title of your report or analysis.
|
FileCreationTime | This is the timestamp of the calculation. It is in format YYYY-mm-dd_HH-MM-SS in UTC. |
.csv, .xls, .pdf | Shows the format in which the file is generated. |
Illegal characters
These characters are not allowed in file names.
# pound | % percent | & ampersand |
{ left curly bracket | } right curly bracket | \ back slash |
< left angle bracket | > right angle bracket | * asterisk |
? question mark | / forward slash | blank spaces |
$ dollar sign | ! exclamation point | ' single quotes |
" double quotes | : colon | @ at sign |
+ plus sign | ` backtick | | pipe |
= equal sign |
