How to append the creator and create-time to a file name automatically.

I hope to append the creator and "create time" to a file name while I create a document from a template.For example: template name: reimbursement-record.xlsAfter the file created, file name changed to: reimbursement-record-Smith-20140214.xlsWonder if there is an easy way?Thanks in advance!

Hi Andy, you can do it by either custom behaviour or by executing custom js as a rule on folder when particular type of content gets added.

Please check below forum, in which document version is being appended in document name, same way you can get document creator and created date.

Hi
For rule,At first,I have writen a XXX.js,Second executes the custom javascript on content update,but it doesn't work,could you tell me why? is there something wrong in the XXX.js?
Thanks in advances!
the XXX.js code as following:

var versionHistory = document.versionHistory;

if (versionHistory != null)
{
var version = versionHistory[0];
var creator = version.creator;
var createdDate = version.createdDate;
document.name = document.name +"-"+ creator +"-"+ createdDate;
document.save();
}

The version history probably does not exist. Why aren't you using the auditable aspect of the document itself?
