Guidelines for Naming an Applet

If you name an applet, then use the following guidelines:

• Give duplicate applets that do not contain drilldowns the same name as the original applet but add the phrase Without Navigation to the name immediately before the word Applet. For example, ABC Selective Account List Without Navigation Applet.
• Add the phrase Administration Applet to the end of the name of each applet that the user uses to do administrative work. For example, Master Forecast Administration Applet.
• Name each new applet with a prefix that identifies your company. For example, if your company name is ABC Incorporated, then name the new applet ABC Opportunity List Applet.
• Include the type of applet in the name just before the word Applet.
• Capitalize the first letter of each word. For example, Account List Applet rather than account list applet.
• Avoid using a special character in an applet name.
• Use only alphanumeric characters.
• Make sure the applet name is meaningful. Avoid adding a number suffix to an applet name, such as ABC Opportunity List Applet 2. For example, if the applet differs because it does not allow drill down, then indicate this situation in your applet name. For example, ABC Opportunity List Applet - Without Drill Down.

Table 21 describes the naming formats for an applet, where business component is the name of the business component that the applet references in the Business Component property.
