Activity naming convention
This page lists the suggestions on naming conventions to be used while creating activities. These suggestions if implemented would help the user to easily update, audit, and manage the created activities.
It is recommended to use the following syntax while naming an activity:
<ProjectNameorOrganizationName>_<GroupName>_<ActivityType>_<DescriptionOfTheActivity>
where,
<ProjectNameorOrganizationName>: This should describe the name of the project to which an activity is associated, and this can be limited to 1-3 characters. For example, if the project name is Adeptia then use "ADP" as a project name.
<GroupName>: The name of a group whose user is creating this activity. For example, if the user is from the Developer's group, Group Name can be "DEV".
<ActivityType>: This is the activity type, you can refer to the table below on this page for the suggested activity types and their names. For example, use "FS" to denote a File Source Activity Type.
<DescriptionOfTheActivity>: This is the name of the activity; for example, TranslationErrorSourceForInbound.
By following the syntax, the activity name can be as follows: ADP_DEV_FS_TranslationErrorSourceForInbound.
