Let's take the same example of the Delivery voucher form. Except that this time, instead of putting text, we will customize the name of the folder and sub-folder by putting the tag of one or several element(s) of this form. For instance, we want to create the first folder with the name 'Delivery voucher' and the sub-folder to be named with the name of the company (client). Let's go through the different steps:
- First, we will select the 'Company name' element of our form to check what is its tag. It is ##company_name##.
