Question:
How can I add a date field to the file name when exporting documents?

Answer:
Please refer to the following guide to add a date field to the file names;
 
1. Navigate to the defaultconfig.xml configuration file (default location: C:\ProgramData\docXporter). Open the file and locate the Document Export Settings section where the FileName value can be found.

<!-- Document Export Settings -->
        <ExportMode>PDF</ExportMode>
        <ExportTarget>Folder</ExportTarget>
        <ExportPath>c:\DocXporter Export\{COMPANY}\{DOCUMENT_TYPE}</ExportPath>
       
<FileName>{DOCUMENT_TYPE}_{DOCUMENT_NUMBER}_{DWDOCID}</FileName>

2. To use the information from a date field, add the following under the file name:
Note: Please create a copy of this file for backup purposes before altering it. 

{DateFieldName:yyyy-MM-dd}


For example:
In this example, the date field we want to be added to the file name is DOCUMENTDATE;
<FileName>{DOCUMENTTYPE}{DOCUMENTDATE:yyyy-MM-dd}{DOCUMENT_NUMBER}_{DWDOCID}</FileName>

3. The date can be set to the format of your choosing, i.e:

yyyyMMdd
yyyy-MM-dd
MM-dd-yyyy
MMddyyyy
dd_mm_yyyy
 
Note: The current formatting/region of the fields does not matter. You can export in any format you choose.
