Extending naming conventions by registering a new naming convention rule

UDTT provides a naming convention rule that enables technical developers to customize simple naming conventions without coding.

A naming convention rule is in the following format:

elementRuleID=[prefix]{variable}[suffix]

elementRuleID

The rule ID of the element that supports customized naming conventions.

prefix

Can be 0 or n number of characters.

variable

Can be 0 or n number of predefined variables that can be referenced by a naming convention rule

suffix

Can be 0 or n number of characters

An example of naming convention rule is provided here:

FILE_TRANSACTION=newTransaction{file_count}.transaction
