Specify the File Name Correctly

Change the Cascade File Name to name the new asset correctly. Make sure to follow the correct Naming Conventions. No capital letters, hyphens instead of spaces (NOT underscores), no special characters (e.g. apostrophes, ampersands, accent marks, etc.), and the only punctuation should be the period for the file suffix.

After the previous step of attaching the document, the File Name will have appended the correct file suffix (e.g. .txt, .pdf, xlsx, etc.). Do NOT remove the file suffix. Cascade needs to know what type of file is being uploaded. When changing the File Name, make sure to retain the correct file suffix.

Changing the Cascade File Name will NOT affect the file on your computer.

Click the Placement Folder button and use the Slider Pane to select the folder to place the new asset.

Result: The selected file path will display under the Placement Folder.
