How To Customize Your Saved Files Names
 

The feature 'Customizable Saving Folder', allows you to customize the name of the folder where your file will be saved upon downloading. The folder name may be determined according to the date of the download, the server you have downloaded from etc.

Below please find a short tutorial of the feature.

 

DAP Customized naming is very simple, you can instruct DAP to name the files according to predefined categories, use your own text or combine the categories with free text.

The correct structure of the naming system is: %Parameter%
You can combine as many parameters you want by keeping that structure : %Param1%Param2%Param3%

Note: you don't have to use double % to string the name (i.e. %Param1%%Param2%).
