File name

Each type of file needs a file name, e.g. to be able to retrieve it in the Browse Files mode, by searching for it or for concepts specifically, to be able to refer to it in clauses in the Clause9 grammar.

Editing the file name

By default, the editing pane opens on the file name tab, as you can verify in the navigation menu on the right where File name will be selected.

Multiple languages

With its multi-language support, Clause9 enables you to give a file name in multiple languages to one single file. Each user will then see the file name in the language that is highest on his language preferences order.

Tips for naming files

  • It is best practice not to use capitals when naming files (see also below for concepts), save for documents or binders. Using only lower case letters avoids any issues when referring to a file in the Clause9 grammar.

  • Describe the content of the file accurately, but keep it short (especially when naming concepts).

  • Remember that you do not have to describe all the characteristics when naming a clause – make clever use of the available attributes.

  • When naming concepts (and external snippets):

    • It is best practice to use dashes (‘-‘) instead of spaces in concept names to be able to refer to them in the Clause9 grammar when writing clauses.

    • Do not use capitals when naming concepts. Concept names are used to refer to a concept or its datafield in the Clause9 grammar. When writing a concept name with a capital in a clause text, the concept label or datafield (whichever you are referring to) will be written with a capital in the final text. Therefore the concept name itself should not in all cases have a capital – only when required (e.g. when it is used in the beginning of a sentence).
