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:

Filename components

PK table files

PK graph files

PK Comparison graph and table files

Filename components

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_”.
