If you selected the Use the following filename option above, you can arbitrarily insert the placeholders and add explanatory text. You can also use the delimiting character for path formatting (the backslash \ in Windows) to automatically create folders during export. This is illustrated in the following example.
$(EXPORTNAME)\$(DATE yyyy)\$(DATE MM)\$(DATE dd)\Acc-No_$(ACCOUNT).csv
In this example, a folder is created for export name, year, month, and day and the account name is used as a filename with a prefix.
