Templates

ℹ️ Requires a Professional or Team plan

Create reusable templates for your project and folder structures. Setup naming conventions, so you never have to rename a file or folder again. Templates require at least a Professional plan.

Sharing templates with your team

If you want your team members to use templates too, they must have access to the template folder. This is best located on a NAS or a Dropbox that points to the same path via Map to Drive. Anchorpoint stores two different paths for Windows and macOS for templates.

Tokens

If you want to keep consistent naming conventions, you can use tokens e.g. “[name]” in your file and folder names. Anchorpoint will rename these tokens to normal filenames by showing you a textfield to enter the proper name. Besides that, some tokens can be automatically resolved:

• [YYYY] -> The current year

• [YYYYMM] -> The current year and month

• [YYYYMMDD] -> The current year, month and day

• [ProjectFolder] -> The name of the root project folder

• [User] -> The name of the member creating the folder from the template

• [UserInitials] -> The initials for the user name e.g. Mat Newman will be MN

• [Increment] -> Looks at the number of folders and files and adjusts the number e.g. 0010, 0020, 0030

• [Inc####] -> Looks at the number of folders and files and adjusts the number like this: 0001, 0002

• [Inc###] -> Looks at the number of folders and files and adjusts the number like this: 001, 002

• [Inc##] -> Looks at the number of folders and files and adjusts the number like this: 01, 02

• [Inc#] -> Looks at the number of folders and files and adjusts the number like this: 1, 2
