      Collection Name
      The system uses this name to create your ALS file name with the Collection ID and system timestamp. Keep in mind the following points:
      • Keep this name brief, 125 characters or less. (The maximum length for an a Microsoft Excel file name is 218 characters, accounting . Accounting for a folder/path name of no more than 50 characters, the caDSR system appends 43 characters to the name for the collection and timestamp, leaving 125 characters.)
      • Avoid special symbols: 
             [     ]     \     /     ;     :     %     #     @     $     {     }     |
      • Collection Names cannot begin with the characters 0 through 9.
      • To avoid redundancy, do not include the string “ALS”, “PV”, or “PVM” in the Collection Name (because the system prepends this information to the file name).
