Name
The name of the type should be as descriptive as possible and reflect the information that the type represents.
A type name must conform to the following guidelines:
- A type name cannot be more than 256 characters long.
- A type name cannot be a reserved word or contain a reserved symbol. For a list of reserved words, refer to Design Studio Introduction documentation.
- A type name cannot contain only digits and/or periods.
- A type name may contain numbers and special characters.
- A type name cannot contain spaces. Use an underscore instead.
- A type name can contain the following:
- Letters
- Digits
- ASCII characters 128-255
- Special characters: #, ~, %, _, ? or \
- Double-byte characters (Japan edition only)
- A type name cannot have the same name as another type on
the same level in the same type tree.
A type name can be up to 256 characters in length, but use a short type name if possible. The full path name of each type is used in map rules in the Map Designer.
