Naming media files

Our CMS contains thousands of image files, so it's important to name your file well so that you and your colleagues can find and reuse them.

There are 2 different naming conventions to keep in mind:

  • The filename of the image (what it is saved as on your computer, e.g. very-important-image.jpg).

  • The media item name you give the image when you upload it to the CMS media library (e.g. Shrine profiles John Lui).

Tips & tricks

If you're uploading several images that belong together, such as members of a council or honour roll inductees, it's a good idea to put this consistently in the image names, for easier searching. For example: "Stella Young – 2017 Women's Honour Roll".
