Default Output Location

The Default Output Location controls globally where you want your files to be exported to.  However, as you can add to this location using the Project overrides, or transmittal naming rule, or format naming rules you can technically have all these 3 sections going to completely different locations.

The default output location is generally an absolute file path, for example:

No Formatcode
P:\Projects\2011-012\Deliverables\Issued\110601

...

Note

Note: The field gets added to wherever your cursor is currently within the text field.

For example:

No Formatcode
P:\Projects\<ProjNo>\Deliverables\Issued\<Date>

...

Environment variables will be resolved.  For example:

No Formatcode
%UserProfile%\Documents\P<ProjNo>\Issued\<Date>-<ProjStatus>

Assuming your Windows user name is "Homer" then this may be resolved as:

No Formatcode
C:\Users\Homer\Documents\P2011-012\Issued\110601-PRELIMINARY

UNC paths may also be used, for example:

No Formatcode
\\server\Data\Projects\<ProjNo>\Deliverables\Issued\<Date>

...

The following codes can be used to create custom date / time formats.
