# Collection Name

For collections, the one-off generation created many collection names. Many of these are overly verbose and should be shortened. Simply modify the `collectionName` in the entity annotation. Here are some guidelines:

- Shorten `adjustmentTypeAlgorithms` to `algorithms`.
- Shorten `adjustmentTypeCharacteristics` to `characteristics` (in rare cases you may have more than one kind of characteristic, in which case you need more specific names).
- Remove the owning entity name from the front of the collection name. For example, `billableChargeTemplateLines` becomes `lines`.
