This field displays the default value configured in the Capturebox system settings. If you do not want to use this, you can specify the file name manually. Note that you cannot add multiple ingest jobs with identical file names to the job list.
If the filename contains the variable

Select the Start time and End time to be used.
Tip
As an alternative to entering the end time manually, you can enter the Duration of the job to be created in days (left field) as well as hours, minutes and seconds (right field). The values displayed under End time will adjust according to your entries.
