Description. Permanent Folio Storage will refer to this setting to determine and assign a file name for the folio. Available values can be concatenated to each other to form a format string.

Internal Name. PERMANENT_FOLIO_STORAGE_FILE_NAME_FORMAT

Property Determination. This application setting gives the property the ability to assign the PDF file name to the folio. Once configured, this file name will be assigned to the folio when it gets created. Also, once the file name is configured, it will only be used on folios created from that point on. Older folios will maintain the file name that was used when they were created.
