Path Patterns
Here you can overwrite path patterns from the global section. You also can add new ones.
Path Values
Here you can overwrite the custom values from the global section. You also can add new ones.
TIp:
Add a path value called facility in the global section.
Add the custom value somewhere in the path pattern.
This way you can share the same folder structure and naming convention for all the libraries between all the sites. Here in the library section you overwrite the value with the name of your facility. This way you could sync the libraries between all your sites but still separating them into different folders.
Some companies use the IATA airport code to differentiate between their facilities.
