Custom fields
Teach Renamo to extract extra values for your filenames
Fields control what Renamo extracts for filenames. You can adjust the descriptions for built-in fields and define your own custom filename tokens.
Renamo sends field names and descriptions to the local extraction model alongside the built-in fields.
Edit built-in fields
Open Settings → Fields to review the built-in extraction fields. Date, Vendor, Currency, Amount, VAT%, and VAT Amount can each use the default description or a custom description.
Use a custom description when your documents use unusual wording or when you want Renamo to prefer a specific value.
Add a custom field
You can add fields from either place:
- The template field menu: choose Custom...
- Settings → Fields → Add Field...
Each field has:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | The token name shown in the filename template |
| Description | Instructions for what the model should extract |
Examples
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Invoice Number | Extract the invoice number from the document. |
| Country | Extract the billing country from the document. |
| Category | Choose one of: Software, Travel, Office, Utilities, Meals. |
| Project | Extract 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 - CurrencyAmountReprocessing
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 custom 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.
