- File names
- Have a consistent method for naming files.
- Use common names for files (ones that are easy to associate with the contents of the file).
- Make filenames as short as possible, but make sure they are still meaningful. Use acronyms, initials,and well-known abbreviations.
- where appropriate, incorporate date information into the name in a way that allows sorting by date (year-month-day; Group-meeting-20130422).
- Name files from general to specific.
- Avoid punctuation including commas, colons, slashes, ampersands, and quotation marks.
- Do not use spaces in filenames. Instead, use underscores, hyphens, or capitalisation (for example, AI_poultry, AI-poultry, AIPoultry).
- When including version numbers into a filename, use at least two digits to improve sorting, and consistency (for example, AI-sero-summary_v01.xlsx)
