About Name field length
The Name field in Contenta can contain up to 100 characters. The delivered default is 49 characters. You can increase the number up to 100 but be aware of consequences it may have on your tools and programs.
When determining the character limit for the Name field note the following:
- Checkout directory: Filenames combined with the path to the Contenta editor’s check out directory cannot exceed Windows 256 character limit. The checkin tool fails if the combined path-filename exceeds 256 characters.
The example below is a FrameBook editor checkout directory path and filename.
Contenta_home\Checkout\FrameBookEdit \Administration_User_Guide#3207#1661_01/template_switch_definitions.fm
- Dynamic Import: The Dynamic Import tool checks the name length limit you set to determine how to name the Contenta object into which the file is imported. If the filename exceeds the limit you set, the tool truncates it when naming the object.
