The monthly reports have a name in this format '''"NOAAMO"...".txt"'''.  The yearly reports have a name in this format '''"NOAAYR"...".txt"'''. This format with 4 double quotes in all cases is used both in the NOAA settings screen and in the [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_NOAA|[NOAA] section of Cumulus.ini]].

It is between the double quotes where I have placed '...' that Cumulus expects us to use the date output modifiers described. Note that the double quotes must be used at each of the places where they are shown when you define your report naming in the NOAA Settings screen of either Cumulus 1 or MX.  The default selected by Steve Loft is '''MMyyyy''' and '''yyyy''' respectively (expressed in a way that suits both Cumulus 1 and MX) so the inserted part is all numerical. Here is a table showing the main alternative options, for more details about these selectors see the [[Webtags#List_of_allowed_modifiers|table below]]  as there are obviously a lot more options.
