Applets

The following are general naming recommendations for applets:

Name all new applets with a prefix that identifies your company. For example, ABC Incorporated could name a new applet ABC Opportunity List Applet.

Avoid using special characters in applet names. Use only alphanumeric characters.

Applet names should be meaningful. Avoid adding a number suffix (for example, ABC Opportunity List Applet 2) to an applet name. For example, if the applet differs because it does not allow drill down, then indicate this in your applet name (ABC Opportunity List Applet - Without Drill Down).

Initial-capitalize applet names, for example, Account List Applet rather than account list applet.

The type of applet should be included in the name just before the word applet, as shown in Table 6.
