Note that hyphenated names are treated as a single word by the tool. For example, 'GOODWIN-CLAIRMONT_Vanessa_GRN' indicates that the candidate's last name is: 'Goodwin-Clairmont' and the first name is 'Vanessa'. The same goes for first names. For example, 'ZHANG_Regan-Heng_GRN' indicates that the candidate's last name is 'Zhang' and the first name is 'Regan-Heng'.

Special Characters in Filenames

Filenames can use any character in the current code page for a name, including Unicode characters and characters in the extended character set (128–255), except for reserved characters.

The following are reserved characters in Windows systems and cannot be used in filenames:

  • < (less than)

  • > (greater than)

  • : (colon)

  • " (double quote)

  • / (forward slash)

  • \ (backslash)

  • | (vertical bar or pipe)

  • ? (question mark)

  • * (asterisk)

Troubleshooting

Tip

Tip

Take a closer look at the log file that is generated by the tool. Most likely there will be some unmatched headshot images after the tool is run, particularly on the initial runs.

The tool tries its best to match the candidate names and party information parsed from the filenames against the information in the Flow database. The most likely cause of these mismatches will be that the candidate names in the Flow database do not match exactly the name parsed from the headshot files.

The simplest way to solve this issue is to modify the mismatching filenames such that the candidate names match exactly and then re-run the tool again. Alternatively, If there are less than a handful of unmatched headshots left, you can opt to use the Flow interface to assign the headshot images to the candidates manually.
