File Naming Options

---

You have three options for naming data files. You can:

• Name each file automatically using this format: saveData_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.xls
• Name each file individually, and enter the name you want. This is called User file naming.
• Have the test set ask you how you want to name each file at the time you save the data.

Setting Up Asking For Filename

You can choose to have the test set ask you at the time you save a data file how you want to name the file. This option means that for every file you save, you will be able to specify automatic naming or enter the filename you want.
