Snapshot Tokens

The following tokens apply to Snapshot.

Note: The syntax inserted when selecting a token is a reference. Laserfiche will automatically translate these tokens into the data they represent.

The following list details the standard tokens available in Snapshot.

Name Syntax Description
Session Count %(Count) A token that will be replaced by a sequential number every time an entry is created or imported into a Laserfiche Client. By default, this token starts at 1.

To configure this token:

  • In the Laserfiche Windows client: Click Autoname from the Options dialog box
  • In the Laserfiche web client: Click Autoname under New Documents in the Settings dialog box.
  • From the Laserfiche Snapshot Configuration dialog box: From the Destination tab.
Current Document %(CurrentDocument) The name of the currently open Laserfiche document. If a document is not the last active Laserfiche window when Laserfiche Snapshot is storing information in Laserfiche, this token will be replaced by a blank value.
Current Folder %(CurrentFolder) The name of the currently open Laserfiche folder. If a Laserfiche document is the last active Laserfiche window, the folder where the document resides will be used. If neither a document nor a folder is open when Laserfiche Snapshot is storing information in Laserfiche, this token will be replaced by a blank value.
Date %(Date) The system date from the current workstation.
Date/Time %(DateTime) The system date and time from the current workstation.
Entry ID %(ID) The identification number assigned to the Laserfiche document where data will be stored. This number will be generated when the Laserfiche document is created. Unlike most tokens, this token is replaced when the document is stored in Laserfiche.
Field Data %(Field:[FieldName]) The value assigned to a field in the current document. You can insert this token in the Name and Folder destination options on the Document Properties tab in the Laserfiche Snapshot dialog box or the General tab of the Snapshot Configuration dialog box.
Global Count %(GCount) A sequential number added every time an entry is created or imported into a Laserfiche Server. By default, this token starts at 1.

Example: Jon and Ben each create a document and use %(GCount). The server count is 3 because the server starts with 1 and each user has created a document.
Name %(Name) The file name for the scanned image. This token is available for use with Laserfiche Universal Capture. It can also be used in the Laserfiche Windows Repository Client applications to populate fields for documents.
Parent ID %(ParentID) The ID of the entry's parent folder.
Parent Name %(ParentName) The name of the entry's parent folder.
Print Job Name %(PrintJobName) The name of the current print job, determined by the application used to print the document.

Example: Notepad uses the file name of the document being printed, while Internet Explorer uses the URL for the web page that was printed.
Time %(Time) The system time on the current workstation.
User Name %(UserName) The name of the user sending documents to a repository. Unlike most tokens, this is replaced when the document is stored in Laserfiche. Until then, it will appear where it was inserted.
