Database Naming Conventions

To keep everything organized, searchable, and consistent, follow these naming conventions when creating database types, option sets, page names, and reusable elements.

1️⃣ Use Snake Case

✅ Always use snake_case (lowercase with underscores) for naming:

• Database types

• Option sets

• Pages

• Reusable elements

🔹 Example:

• ✅ dt_user_profiles (Good: Easy to read & search)

• ❌ UserProfiles (Bad: Harder to search)

2️⃣ Prefix Your Names for Clarity

To quickly identify different types of data, use these prefixes:

Prefix	Meaning	Example
dt_	Data Type	dt_email, dt_settings
os_	Option Set	os_navigation, os_status

📌 If an abbreviation already exists (e.g., API), you can keep it capitalized: dt_API_logs.
