Naming conventions

Naming conventions

Solutions and streams

  • Solution and stream names must be unique.

  • When you duplicate a stream, the system appends “(Copy)” to the end of the duplicated stream’s name.

  • Stream names can be up to 63 characters long.

  • To rename a stream, click directly on its name in the stream view.

Caution!
Duplicating a stream with a 63-character name will cause a “bad request” error.

Functions

  • Function names must be unique within a stream.

  • When a function is duplicated, the system assigns a unique name by appending a copy number in parentheses.

  • Function names can be up to 60 characters long.

  • To rename a function, click directly on its name in the stream view.
