# [Process name pipe](../../../lib/process-services/src/lib/pipes/process-name.pipe.ts "Defined in process-name.pipe.ts")
When an identifier is specified, the input will be transformed replacing the identifiers with the values of the selected process definition provided.
## Basic Usage
processNamePipe.transform('Example - %{processDefinition} - %{datetime}', new ProcessDefinitionRepresentation({ name: 'upload-passport'}));
### Properties
| Name | Type | Default value | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ------------- | ----------- |
| processNameFormat | string | undefined | The process name format including the preferred identifiers to be used |
| selectedProcessDefinition | [`ProcessDefinitionRepresentation`](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-js-api/blob/develop/src/api/activiti-rest-api/docs/ProcessDefinitionRepresentation.md) | undefined | (optional) The selected process definition |
## Details
The pipe offers a convenient way to format a process name using a process name format template.
The supported identifiers that can be used in the process name format are the following:
- %{processDefinition}
- %{datetime}
When the %{processDefinition} identifier is used, the selected process definition provided
will be added and positioned in the same place as the identifier.
When the %{datetime} identifier is used, the current datetime will be added and positioned in the same place as the identifier.
Important Notes:
- All the identifiers are case-insensitive.
- The identifiers can be used in any position (beginning, middle, end, custom).
- The identifiers can NOT be used more than once each in the same processNameFormat (The second occurrence of each identifier will be ignored
and handled as a plain string).
#### Result
```ts
processNamePipe.transform('Example - %{processDefinition} - %{datetime}', new ProcessDefinitionRepresentation({ name: 'upload-passport'}));
//Returns 'Example - upload passport - June 02, 2020, 12:00:00 AM'
```
