Folder Naming and Folder Structure

---

To enable you to identify, locate and use your data files efficiently and effectively you need to think about naming your files consistently and structuring your data files in a well-structured and unambiguous folder structure.

Our folders contain unique names to the systes being developed. The first is the system name that represents the software, the second is the version folder which contains the versions built from version onwards. This helps keep track of the system and ease of navigation.

The third and final is the folder that contains the files and is referred to as the 'code' folder, this folder is specifically designed to hold the code and allow changes to be made while referencing is made easy at the same time.

File naming strategy

Two important starting points for your file naming strategy are:

• A file name is a principal identifier of a file
  Good file names provide useful clues to the content, status and version of a file, uniquely identify a file and help in classifying and sorting files. File names that reflect the file content also facilitate searching and discovering files. In collaborative research, it is essential to keep track of changes and edits to files via the file name.
• File naming strategy should be consistent in time and among different people
  File naming should be systematic and consistent across all files in the project A group of cooperating programmers should follow the same file naming strategy and file names should be independent of the location of the file on a computer.

Folder structure

Structuring your data files in folders is important for making it easier to locate and organize files and versions. A proper folder structure is especially needed when collaborating with others.

The decision on how to organize your data files depends on the plan and organization of the study. All material relevant to the data should be entered into the data folders, including detailed information on the data collection and data processing procedures.

Consider the best hierarchy of your files and decide whether a deep or shallow hierarchy is preferable. If you have several independent data collections, it is advisable to create a separate data folder for each collection. For inspiration, have a look at the examples in the accordion below.
