Title for the publication. The title can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, hyphens, and underscores. Do not use slashes, asterisks, or other special characters. This is a required field.

Example: Administering Communication Manager 8.

The title appears as the filename of the output, additionally, the publication version, language, and output format is appended. For example, Administering Communication Manager 8.0=3=Avaya Book=en-us. The maximum number of characters in an output filename is 116 characters. Out of which, 9 characters are used for the version number, language, and separators. The length of the output format name can vary, with the maximum being 30 for the Avaya 3–column Quick Reference. The remaining characters are used for the publication title. If the title is long and if there are no enough remaining characters, the complete publication title is not included in the output filename. You can rename the output filename after you download it, or you can shorten the name that fits within the supported characters.
