Files that you upload to WCHO should follow this name format:
Standard format: [OrganizationPrefix]_Number
Examples: PUApic_00123
or CORpic_627
- The Prefix refers to your organization, i.e. CORpic = Cornelius Public Library. See the list below.
We use prefixes so that: (a) it's clear on our server which files 'belong' to each organization; and (b) we don't accidentally create duplicate identical file names - An underscore _ separates the Prefix and the Number
- The "Number" is the next available sequential number. For example, if the last number you used was PUApic_00101, your next file would be numbered PUApic_00102. It's OK if there are gaps between your numbers. The main point is to have unique filenames. Ask Pacific's Archivist for help if you're not sure what number to start with: archives@pacificu.edu
- TIP: If you need to rename a large number of files, an app called Bulk Rename Utility can help you automate the process.
