Banner Settings Overview

The base banner settings provide fundamental functionalities which guides the basic set of operation. For example, save locations and input file locations. The individual banner will share most of its settings with some specialized settings for each banner.

The banner settings are saved under "User\Documents\LifeCycle Workflow Automation" in JSON format. The settings will be replaced if the default filenames are altered.

Keep in mind the standard single backslash '' is replace by '\' since the automation will parse double back slash into a single slash. The program will crash if the double back slash rule is broken.

Below is a list of settings names explained in detail.


Banner Common Settings

Individual settings offered for customization:

WIP and Final OutputDirectory

This field is where output file will be copied to after calculation. The default location is set to current user's desktop. This setting should be set to a valid folder location.

Network location must be connected for files to appear correctly. There are no error checking code for network issues currently.

Default Output Filename

The default name that appears on both WIP and final output file. This name will be the prefix to the date input in the settings file. The name of output file will follow the format:
