Attribute(s)
Alias
Description
A Form Alias is the unique identifier for the form and may never change. Every form must have a Form Alias. All references to the form (in formulas, agents, etc.) must be based on the Form Alias.The Form Alias is the most right text preceded by a piping symbol (|) in the Name field of the form properties. When the Name field in the form properties contains only one value it is the Form Alias as well.
All documents created by this form will contain the alias in the Form field, meaning all views need take this into consideration.
Motivation
Form names can be related to the function of the form, and therefore subject to change. A Form Alias is an internal name, and must be independent of the functional descriptive name of the form.
Example / Details
Form Aliases in DOMINO applications must be named in accordance with following
convention:<CODE>-<ShortDescription>
<CODE> = Fixed acronym for the objecttype, being F, length 1 characters;
- = Linker of object type and short description, length 1 character;
<ShortDescription> = Descriptive text about the object. This may not exceed 30
characters. Spaces are not allowed.
The total length of the form alias may NOT exceed 32 characters.
Example:
The form 'T-Application Management\Keyword' has the following value(s) in the Name field of the form properties:
T-Application Management\Keyword | F-Keyword
Based on above mentioned definition the Form Alias is 'F-Keyword' and the functional descriptive name is 'T-Application Management\Keyword'
