Naming Conventions for Forms

Form Design Aid automatically assigns a name to the form using the format WzzzzzzzzA, where:

W = Form.

zzzzzzzz = The application name.

A = The first form created in the application. It is usually, but not always, the entry point to the application. Subsequent forms are assigned sequential letters, such as B for the second form, C for the third form, and so on.

Ensure that you provide a form description that is based on the form type. This table provides examples of form descriptions:

Form Type	Form Description
Find/Browse	The words Work With followed by the subject of the application, such as Work With Companies or Work With Constants.
Fix/Inspect, Header/Detail, and Headerless/Detail	A title that reflects the topic of the form, such as Supplier Information, Item Master Revisions, or Purchase Order Entry.
Lower-Level Windows	A title that reflects the topic of the window, with the title of the calling form appended to it, such as Enter Voucher - G/L Distribution. When the title of a window includes a verb, use an active verb, not a nominalization; such as Work With Vouchers.
