Directory Filename Tags
Using Tags can speed up post Inspection processing time to get results more quickly by allowing users to have better control over the directory structure and keep like files together.
For example, if you wish to save video and photos separately, use the \${type} in the Directory Template: DATA_${yyyy}${MM}${dd}${hh}${mm}${ss}${fff}\${type}
This will create sub-folders named Data, Stills and Videos inside the Directory path where your Data, Stills and Videos files will be saved.

Place the cursor in the Directory Template path or the File Template path in a position where you want to add format Tags and type $ to display & select from the list of available Tags.
