Dispatch uses a file-naming convention to help import stories and images into the database. This naming convention is based upon the column each story or image belongs to.
Typical naming conventions look like this: music_feature1.xtg The basic format is: column_base_nameN.xtg Note: You may name files any way you want. If Dispatch doesn't recognize a file name, you will be prompted to identify it during the importing phase.
Images also use a naming convention which is defined as follows:
column_base_nameN-N.gif or column_base_nameN-N.jpg Using the file set from above, notice how the images are named to lock to the correct files (stories):
music_feature1.xtg This format allows for perfect file locking. Dispatch will prompt you if an image is named incorrectly and ask what column or story to lock it to.
