Hi All. I have a sharepoint site where we capture all of our equipment records. I have created a K2 form that captures and creates a list. Then the list is connected to the document libraries. I have just bumped into a problem as some of the euipments use the same type of documentation and those documents have the same file names. I need a way to create a file name convention eg InventoryNumber-FileName.

Ashley,

You could name the file with whatever naming convention you wanted but add the ID to the end of it. This would make sure the name was always unique. I have also seen people use a time stamp on the end to give it a unique file name. To me the ID is less obvious and cleaner. You could categorize these items in the naming convention as well. 

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Bryan Peters
