After you configure Form Publisher on a new form and Form Publisher starts to generate documents with the answers from each form response, Form Publisher names each generated file in Google Drive with the title of the template document followed by the sequential number of the form submission, also known as increment:
<<Template Title>> <<Increment>>.

In the naming convention, you can add any of the standard markers, you can add question markers (so that documents are named with the responses people provide to a question), or you can also add any text or numbers that you want to appear in each file name.

Markers are terms surrounded with double angle brackets, such as <<Template Title>>.

In the default naming convention, the term <<Template Title>> refers to the file name of the configured template.


Also, the default naming convention <<Increment>> refers to the sequential number of the submitted form response. For example, the first form response has an increment number 1, the second is 2, and so on.

To sum up, with the default naming convention <<Template Title>> <<Increment>>, the generated document from the first form response has the file name Form Publisher Template 1, the second form response generates a document with file name Form Publisher Template 2, and so on.

You can change the default naming convention to whatever meets your requirements.

Prerequisites

You can change the default naming convention after Form Publisher is already configured for a Google form.

Procedure

1. Start Form Publisher by clicking the Add-ons icon in your Google form and selecting Form Publisher.
   
   
2. In the pop-up menu, click Launch Form Publisher.
   
   The Form Publisher for Google Forms add-on starts in the lower-right part of the screen and opens the Template and markers page.
   
3. Click the Menu button.
   
   The Form Publisher menu opens.
   
4. Select Naming convention.
   
   
5. Change the naming convention.
   
   
   info  You can expand the Generated files title text box in which you define the naming convention by clicking-and-dragging the bottom-right corner of the area.
   
   1. Enter any terms you want to be included in the file name of all generated documents in the Generated files title text box.
      
      
   2. Enter any question markers you want to be included in the file name of all generated documents in the Generated files title text box.
      
      
   3. Under Use standard markers, select the checkbox of a standard marker to include it in the naming convention. For example, in the screenshot below the Increment marker is included.
      
      
   4. If you select a date-time marker, such as Today, Timestamp, and Now, configure the format in which date and time are added to the file name.
      
      
6. Click Save to save the new naming convention.

Result

Form Publisher is now configured with the new naming convention.

What's next

The next time someone makes a submission in your form, the generated document is named following the new naming convention.
