# Setting Naming Rules

Job naming rules can be defined to control how jobs must be named. Naming rules can be applied at

1. The system level – to apply to all jobs (via the **System Rules** section of the **12d Synergy Administrator**)
2. The job level – to apply to all sub jobs of a job
3. For a job template – so the created jobs match the template name

Naming rules follow a simple syntax, made up of many different parts, but they are best put together using the provided name builder. Some parts are pre-defined, such as when using attribute values, while others may be interactive and require input from the user.

## **Naming Rule for Jobs**

- While staying in the template area naming rules can be applied to Jobs

## **Naming Rules for Folders**

Folder naming rules can also be done in editing a Job. This can be done in either Administrator or the Client.
