Export Destination Name - General rules

If you decide to enter a new destination name, rather than accept the suggested name, the name:

  • Must be unique
  • Cannot be the name None
  • Does not affect the destination itself (e.g., if you change the name of an export destination, it does not change the destination itself or any of its settings)
  • Is not case sensitive, but retains upper and lowercase distinctions

The new export destination name can contain up to 50 characters, including spaces.

The new export destination name cannot contain the equals sign (=).

Delete an export destination

  2. Click Close or press <Enter> to apply the settings and close the Options window.
