Filename Variables

Previous  Top  Next

There are a number of variables that can be used within the filename fields throughout CatTools which will help you create unique names for your backups and reports.

These variables are resolved to actual values at the time the activity is started.

Example:
C:\CatTools V3\Captured Data\%GroupName%\%DeviceName%.DeviceOutput.%DateISO%.txt

Filename variables should not be confused with Meta Data variables.

Variable	Value
%GroupName%	device group name as a folder name
%BaseFile%	device specific file name
%DateISO%	ISO format date
%DateYYYY%	date as yyyy (year only)
%DateMM%	date as mm (month only)
%DateDD%	date as dd (day only)
%TimeHHMM%	time as hhmm
%DeviceName%	file system friendly device name
%AppPath%	file system path of the CatTools executable including a trailing "\"
