File Naming Convention
A File Naming
Convention (FNC)
is a framework for
naming your files in a
way that describes
what they contain and
how they relate to
other files.

Developing an FNC:
Identify the key elements of the project, the
important differences, and commonalities
between your files. It could include things like:
• date of creation
• author's name
• project name
• name of a section or a sub-section of the
project
• the version of the file, etc.
