Image Naming Convention



Image Naming Convention

 

When you upload your Product Images in NuORDER, in order for them to automatically match to your products, the files must be named with a file naming convention that corresponds to information in your Product Data. NuORDER can automatically match your images and videos to your products during a bulk upload or file transfer using the file name as a guide. Depending on the rules you apply to your naming convention, you can use your file name to tell NuORDER the style number of an item, its season, its fabric content, and much more. 

 

 

To set your file naming convention, begin by choosing either a Standardized or Custom naming convention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Standard vs Customized Naming

 

When you first visit the Image Settings page, you'll need to choose between a standardized and custom naming convention.

With standardized naming conventions, you’ll create one set of rules that applies to every media file that you upload. In other words, every media file you upload will follow the exact same rules—from the hero image to your 75th upload for a specific product and more.

With custom naming conventions, you'll create a unique set of rules for each media file you upload in a series. In other words, you’ll predetermine what rules apply to each image in a series. The first image in a series might include the style number and color (e.g. “DEMO1234444_cream_1”) and the second image in a series might include the season and color (e.g. “s20_cream_2”). 

Choosing Your Naming Convention

 

If this is your first time creating a naming convention, we recommend using a standardized naming convention. As you build your naming convention, just make sure all future media files are named after that convention. 

If any of the following are true, we recommend using a custom naming convention:

  • Your brand utilizes a unique image naming pattern that requires different image names to be formatted in different ways.
  • You've set up an image naming convention in NuORDER in the past.
    • If so, a custom naming convention will already be activated in your account based on your previous rules.
    • Before uploading any additional product images, however, we recommend reviewing your existing custom naming convention to ensure that all fields remain accurate.

 

 

 

Depending on the rules you apply to your naming convention, NuORDER will interpret your file names in different ways. Read over the information in our knowledge base to understand what rules you can apply in each section of the page and how they'll impact your future file names.
