### Guidelines
|
|
|
|
There are no specific rules how to name your files. Whatever system you choose to use, they should be detailed enough that someone from your research group could take your lab book and identify what each image is.

|
* **More detail is better:** Adding some hints, like `time` or `cell-line` makes it easier for you, and others, to at a glance work out what the naming system means.

* **Directories can help:** You may prefer to organise your data into directories. This helps to reduce input errors. After importing to OMERO there are some scripts that add the directories to the filename.

Each research group has different priorities so discuss with your team what is the key information that should be included in your naming system.
