Custom fields

Teach Renamo to extract extra values for your filenames

Custom fields let you define your own filename tokens. Renamo sends their names and descriptions to the local extraction model alongside the built-in fields.

Add a custom field

You can add fields from either place:

  • The template field menu: choose Custom...
  • Settings → Custom Fields → Add Field...

Each field has:

FieldMeaning
NameThe token name shown in the filename template
DescriptionInstructions for what the model should extract

Examples

NameDescription
Invoice NumberExtract the invoice number from the document.
CountryExtract the billing country from the document.
CategoryChoose one of: Software, Travel, Office, Utilities, Meals.
ProjectExtract the project or client name if present.

Use custom fields in filenames

After adding a field, insert it into the template just like a built-in token.

Date - Vendor - Invoice Number - CurrencyAmount

Reprocessing

When you add or edit a custom field, Renamo reprocesses ready documents so the new value can be extracted. Documents that are already processing are queued again after their current run finishes.

Removing fields

Removing a custom field also removes it from the filename template and clears extracted values for that field from the current document list.

Warning

Custom fields depend on the selected extraction model. If a field is vague, write a stricter description or use category choices.
