Naming Rules

When you create processes, variables, and other process elements, you should follow IPA Designer's naming rules. If you use names that violate the rules, your processes might not work correctly.

The name of a process or process element should:

• Consist only of letters, digits (0 to 9), and underscores (_).

• Begin with an uppercase letter.

• Use "camel case" or underscores for names that contain multiple words. For example, if a variable contains a person's first name, you might call it FirstName or First_Name.
  
  Examples of legal names are:
  
  FirstName
  
  First_Name
  
  FIRST_NAME
  
  NAME
  
  CustomerIntakeForm
  
  Run_Credit_Check
  
  Examples of illegal names are:
  
  987Run_credit_check
  
  _FirstName
  
  Last.Name

Note: The above rules work for all identifiers in IPA Designer. However, spaces are allowed in the names of processes, states, tasks, work items, and pages. They are not allowed in variable names.
