You can set the TOOL parameters for library objects to a (default) name to use when creating articles with such object. The naming convention is customizable, and it can be the same or different for every object in the library. You can construct article name from any of the following seven variables (in any combination): title, edition, section, zone and layer name, page number, and the ordinal number. The variables are read from the current page, therefore the values will be different for different titles, editions, sections, zones, layers and page numbers.

The variables, available to construct article name are:

&t        page's title name

&e        page's edition name

&s        page's section

&z        page's zone

&n        page's number

&l        current layer name

&a        total number of articles linked to the page + 1 - so it will be 1 if there are no articles linked to the page

Important note: if you use a library object to create articles on a given page, then delete articles from the page, and then re-use the library object again on the same page, this will cause troubles, since the articles with specified name will already exist in the database.

It is recommended to use at &n and &a always.

Each variable part can be followed by a 'substring' specification in square brackets, so that '&t[2,3]' means 3 characters of the title name starting from the second one. If the second value is greater than the variable string length, zeros are added at the beginning to obtain the requested length, e.g &n[1,4] produces 0001, 0125 and so on.

If the TOOL parameters are set to select an article, the name is presented to the user as the default, if the TOOL parameters are set to create the article, the name is used directly for the creation.

You can use commands Fred4.AppSetNewArticleFolderId that sets the folder to be used when creating automatically articles from library object insertion (i.e. frames with the 'Create new article' option), and Fred4.AppGetNewArticleFolderId that returns the id of the folder set with AppSetNewArticleFolderId. If this folder id is 0 the user is always prompted to select the folder. If this folder id is -1 the user is prompted the first time and then the selected folder is automatically used for subsequent creations.

The folder id is initially 0 and it is not saved between sessions.
