Output File Naming Conventions
Filenames consist of a series of name parts, which are typically determined by “attributes”. Each attribute in the filename is separated by a “_” and all values within an attribute are separated by a “-”. This naming convention makes it easier to identify attribute values within a filename.
This section contains the following topics:
•PK Comparison graph and table files
Automation output are named according to the following schema:
[Ex_]<BaseFilename>
[_Norm-<Var>]
[_Trt#]
[_Analyte]
[_Per#]
[_Day#]
[{_Strat-<VarA>#[-<VarB>#], _GroupBy-Strat-<varA>[-<VarB>]}]
The following table describes the components of a filename.
Component |
Description |
[Ex_]<BaseFilename> |
The base filename is the main part of the filename that indicates the type of table or graph being created. [Ex_] indicate that exclusions were defined and used in the creation of the table/graph in the file. |
Trt |
Treatment |
Per |
Period |
Day |
Day |
Analyte |
Client name of analyte |
Strat-<Var> |
Stratification by the values indicated by client names for VarA and VarB. |
Demog |
Demographic |
Norm- |
Normalization |
Lin/Log |
Linear or Logarithmic |
_by-Dose |
Continuous dose |
_vs-Cont |
Continuous demographics |
Comp_ |
Comparison |
[] |
Denotes optional values based on GUI choice, data in study, or output object type |
# |
Sequence number generated internally by AutoPilot Toolkit and will be the same for tables and graphs |
{} |
Indicates that the contained values are a part of the filename based on a choice made in the GUI of study type. Values within the brackets are separated by “,”. |
< > |
Indicates that the indicated value will be replaced with the variable names created by the client. |
Several output options are not associated with attributes but do affect the filename. These options are described in the table below.
Option |
Description |
Split tables |
Users have an option to create multiple tables from one single table in order to create a better fit on the page. Split tables will have an additional _1_1 or _1_2 appended to the filename to denote which part of the table the file contains. |
Profile exclusions |
These files are created in addition to the regular tables and graphs only if profiles have been excluded. The filenames for both graphs and tables will begin with “EX_” |
Box and whisker plots |
Box and whisker plot file names all begin with “Box_”. |

PK Comparison graph and table files
Comparison graphs and tables follow a similar format to that previously described. All comparison graphs and tables begin with “Comp_”.
