Tags (Use Template) for Automatic File Naming

For the 15000 series barcode verifier, the Axicon Camera Verifier Software offers various ways for automatic file naming reports, including formats like PDF, HTML, CSV, or plain text.

For reporting and saving verification results, the software includes an automatic file naming feature called ‘Use Template’. This feature allows you to automatically include data in your file names, such as the batch or serial number from the verified barcode, or text from your user data. You can find the 'Use Template' feature within the ‘Reports’ and ‘Saving’ tabs in the software settings.

Implementing a Template Tag

To use this feature, you will need to input a small template code to register the desired output file name. This is a simple copy-and-paste process.

If you plan to use the user data feature in your file name, ensure it is set up before proceeding.

Finding Template Tags

The available options for automatic file naming are located in the “Template: available-tags.txt” report, which can be accessed from the file menu. Note: You must have a scan file open in the software to retrieve this, otherwise the option will be greyed out.

Inside this file, you will find a long list of file naming options, with each line containing the code and the expected result.

The first part is the code, and the second part is what the result of that code will look like.

Example of Tags:
general.version.current.desc => Current Software Version
general.version.current => 9.0.0
general.version.current.build\_time => 25/11/2025 16:32:23 (+0000)

Step-by-Step Example
If you wanted the ISO Grade as the file name for your saved PDF reports, you would:

  1. Find the corresponding code in the available tags list.
    • general.isograde.=> ISO Grade
    • The code you need is general.isograde.
  2. Copy the code (general.isograde).
  3. Paste the code into the ‘Use Template’ field in the Camera Verifier software.
  4. Enclose the code with the template delimiters: {* at the start and *} at the end.
    The complete template code in the field should look like this: {*general.isograde*}
  5. Press the Test button to confirm the code is working as intended.

Applying Multiple Tags and User Data

You can apply more than one template tag simultaneously. Here is another example where I will add an extra template tag with a user data field. Below is a screenshot of the user data I will be using.

At the bottom of the available-tags.txt report, you will find a list of all your user data tags. This is why it was important to have any user data fields setup first. 

To include the location in the file name as well then the only thing I would now need to do is to copy the location value tag and paste this into the ‘Use Template' field and remember to add the template delimiters: {* at the start and *} at the end.

{*general.isograde*} {*userdata.Location.value*}

Directory Naming with Tags

The software can also create a new directory using template tags. Use the same method described above:

  1. Copy the desired template tag code.
  2. Paste the code into the Directory field next to your chosen location.
  3. Remember to add the template delimiters: {* at the start and *} at the end.

Here is an example below where I have used the same user data code in the directory field.
