Add Naming Templates

To create a Naming Template, ensure that you have the Creator privilege and have the Standard locked for editing:

1. Right-click the Naming Template folder and select Add Naming Template.

2. Enter the required information:

   1. Enter a unique identification for the Naming Template. This field supports alphanumeric characters, and does not auto-increment.

   2. Enter a name for the identification in this optional field. If you do not input any data, ID is displayed instead of Name in the user interface.

   3. Describe what the Naming Template contains.

3. To create the record and continue to create more records, click Add. Alternatively, click Add and Close. This brings you to the Details tab of that Naming Template.

4. In the Corresponding Identifiers section on the Details tab, enter a nomenclature map. You can enter more than one nomenclature map. For information, see Implementing Corresponding Identifiers.

5. Optionally, in the Properties Specific to Naming Template section, enter a Validation Regular Expression in its text field.

6. From the Applicable For dropdown, select what the regular expression will be used for. The options are:

   • Validation: Whether the template will be used for validation of a Class.

   • Allocation: Whether the template will be used for allocation.

   • Validation and Allocation: Whether the template will be used for both validation and allocation.

   • None

7. Optionally, enter a value in the Sort Order field. The application uses this value for sorting and listing of the Naming Templates.

8. Enter an Aspect if you have an enumerated list associated with the Naming Template. This enables you to select from a fixed set of possible values when creating records.

   The Naming Template is now defined.

   Note: To discontinue using a Naming Template, select the Obsolete check box in the General Properties section on the Details tab.
