Name conventions
When adding items to your project, note the following restrictions for the various item names in the Project Tree:

Restrictions |
|---|---|
|
Classes |
There are no restrictions on what characters are allowed in class names. Characters from non-western languages and right-to-left languages are allowed. There are however, restrictions on what words are allowed for class names when online learning is used. This is because folders are created in the background during production based on the class name and Windows has some restrictions. For more information, see the list of Windows reserved names that cannot be used for class names. |
|
Fields |
Field names cannot contain spaces and the first character of the name cannot be a number. In addition, the following characters are not allowed: /\"*?:<>| and #!£$%^&,.. |
|
Formatters |
Formatter names cannot include spaces or underscores and when adding a formatter you cannot type either of these characters. However, you can paste in a value that includes spaces or underscores. A warning message is displayed to indicate that these characters are not supported. |
|
Locators |
Locator names cannot include spaces. All other characters are allowed including characters from non-western languages and right-to-left languages. |
