Laserfiche Best Practices Naming Documents

Laserfiche does not have a file path character limit but editing a document inside the Laserfiche Repository opens the document locally on the computer. Therefore, the folder path will must follow the Microsoft Windows file path character limits.

So for best practices, a Laserfiche file path should not exceed 255 characters. Please Note: This includes the folder name, document name and any spaces. See examples below.
