"In my opinion, ITSP followed some best naming conventions." Well considering that as far as know the naming convention is not explained anywhere in the ITSP or ITSM documentation, I can't see how you can believe that. Remedy allows you up to 80 characters to name workflow items, and it seems that ITSP and ITSM does not use all of these characters. My Active Link workflow has a naming convention as follows
1. Prefix for custom work (CC_) 2. Form abbreviation (NIM:) - New Incident Console 3. Execute on abbreviation (MRC - Menu Row Choice, Btn - Button, WL - Window Loaded). If more than one Execute on is specified, then the abbreviation I use is the most relevant 4. Name of Button, Table, Field etc (E.g. Btn_OpenIncidentTask) 5. Execution Order (-000-) 6. Details of Actions (OpenHelpDesk) Thus, we get CC_NIM:Btn_OpenIncidentTask-000-OpenHelpDesk If an AL or Filter is part of a Guide, then the suffix _GUIDE is applied. If the AL or Filter calls a Guide, then the suffix _CallGuide is applied. I'm sure other people have naming conventions, but if you are providing a product that is to be released to the general public, then surely publishing the naming convention in your documentation is ESSENTIAL.
