Folder alias

Attribute(s)

  • Alias

    Description

    A folder alias is the unique identifier for the folder and may never change. Every folder must have an alias. All references to the folder (in formulas, agents, etc.) must be based on the alias.

    Motivation

    Folder names are related to the function of the folder, and therefore subject to change. An alias is an internal name, and can be independent of the function of the folder.

    Example / Details

    The alias should assume the following standard form:

    Fo-Description

    Where:

    Fo
    - indicates that this is a Folder.
    Description
    - gives a short description of the folder's function.


    Example

    The folder:
