Naming Conventions

Modified: 9 Jul 2026 Trimble Connect Help

All objects (files, folders, projects, ToDos, and so on) stored in Trimble Connect use the concept of directories to access data stored on a disk, device, or server.

Due to certain operating system (OS) file name restrictions, do not use the following characters in names:
  • < (less than)
  • › (greater than)
  • : (colon)
  • " (citation mark)
  • / (forward slash)
  • \ (backslash)
  • | (vertical bar or pipe)
  • ? (question mark)
  • CHAR. (Characters followed by dot)
  • * (asterisk)
  • .. (double dot)

For additional information, see Windows' Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces page.
