The Path Settings tab

The Path Settings tab on the Palantir Reporting screen is used to specify where reports will be stored and how they will be named.

FINANCIALS needs a place to store reports after they are run. If you do not want to keep reports, select the Create Temporary Output Folder option; in this case a folder will be created after reports are run, and deleted after you close FINANCIALS. To store reports, select the Specify Output Folder option and select a folder.

The Sample Path field shows the path and names of reports according to options selected in the output path section, the SubPath section and the File Naming section.

The SubPath options determine if any sub-folders will be created and how they will be named. The File Naming options determine the names under which reports will be stored in those sub-folders.

Naming elements are applied from top to bottom. To add an element, check the box next to its name. You can change the order of elements by clicking on the arrow buttons. The description of all fields is given in the table below.

To restore default settings, click on the Reset button.

Note: Avoid using special symbols (-, +, &, and so on) and punctuation marks in User Field 1 and 2.

tt, tt (plus any number of additional "t" specifiers)	Represents the A.M./P.M. designator as defined in the current system globalization date format AM designator or PM designator. The A.M. designator is used if the hour in the time being formatted is less than 12; otherwise, the P.M. designator is used.
y	Represents the year as at most a two-digit number. If the year has more than two digits, only the two low-order digits appear in the result. If the year has fewer than two digits, the number is formatted without a leading zero.
yy	Represents the year as a two-digit number. If the year has more than two digits, only the two low-order digits appear in the result. If the year has fewer than two digits, the number is padded with leading zeroes to achieve two digits.
yyy	Represents the year as a three-digit number. If the year has more than three digits, only the three low-order digits appear in the result. If the year has fewer than three digits, the number is padded with leading zeroes to achieve three digits.
yyyy	Represents the year as a four-digit number. If the year has more than four digits, only the four low-order digits appear in the result. If the year has fewer than four digits, the number is padded with leading zeroes to achieve four digits.
yyyyy (plus any number of additional "y" specifiers)	Represents the year as a five-digit number. If the year has more than five digits, only the five low-order digits appear in the result. If the year has fewer than five digits, the number is padded with leading zeroes to achieve five digits.
