Formatting parameters can be used in MFR in any text box that accepts a format string. You should see a list of available formatting parameters to the right of the filter's customization panel when formatting parameters are available. Formatting parameters can be customized and added to the format string using ths tool, but can also be types manually into the format string.
Each formatting parameter (bounded between <..> will be parsed and replaced with a text literal) in the renaming process.

List of available formatting parameters:

Note: strings should be written as-is, without any quotas. When (bit) is specified near a field, 1 is for "ON" and "0" is for "OFF".
