Issuing a new file name

Under most circumstances, the file name of an existing document will not need to be changed. That is, if the document is created new within the vault, Meridian will assign the correct file name if the document is assigned a document type that is configured to calculate file names. But occasionally there are circumstances when the file name of a document must be reissued, such as after importing documents with file names that do not conform to document standard.

To issue a new file name for a document:

1. Select the document for which you want to issue a new file name.
2. On the Document menu, select Issue New File Name. The file is renamed.

Regardless of the current value of the Revision property, revisions of the document will display in chronological order in the Revisions dialog displayed by invoking the Show Revisions command.

The Issue New file name command executes the same process as that which occurs when a new document is created. If the document type is configured to calculated file names with a sequence number, the next available sequence number is used.
