Entity Technical Naming Convention
Specifies the technical naming convention used for entities in your business model. Choose from predefined conventions like PascalCase, camelCase, UPPER_CASE, lower_case, etc.
Options: None, PascalCase, camelCase, Proper_Case, Proper Case, UPPER_CASE, lower_case
| Option | Result for Customer Order |
|---|---|
None | Left exactly as entered |
PascalCase (default) | CustomerOrder |
camelCase | customerOrder |
Proper Case | Customer Order |
Proper_Case | Customer_Order |
UPPER_CASE | CUSTOMER_ORDER |
lower_case | customer_order |
The convention is applied when an entity's Technical Name is derived from its name in the Business Modeling editors. It is also used more widely wherever BimlFlex needs a technical form of an entity name: the Object editor derives an object's Business Name with it when no Business Entity is linked, and it serves as the fallback convention for attribute Technical Names when Attribute Technical Naming Convention is set to Inherit. The dashboard naming health check reports business entities whose Technical Name does not match this convention.
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default PascalCase for compact technical names that translate directly into table names. Pick the convention that matches your database naming standard; use None to keep Technical Names exactly as entered.
