CloudObjectNameFormat
is an option for CloudObject and related objects that determines how the name portion of the URL for the object should be formatted.
Details

- CloudObjectNameFormat is only used to format the URL in the CloudObject expression; it does not change the object in any way.
- Possible settings include:
-
Automatic UUID for anonymous objects; $UserURLBase for named objects "UserURLBase" $UserURLBase and the object path "CloudUserID" $CloudUserID and the object path "CloudUserUUID" $CloudUserUUID and the object path "UUID" object UUID - Anonymous cloud objects do not have a path, so only the "UUID" setting can be applied to them.
- $CloudObjectNameFormat gives the default setting for the CloudObjectNameFormat option.
