titleTable Naming Policy

The default table naming policy is

configured

as follows

.

:

  1. For custom tables created within the Simple application, the
"
  1. c
_" prefix
  1.  prefix is added.
    Example
      • For example: if you create a table and specify the title "
    table
      • Table,"
    ,
      • then the name
    "
      • c_table
    " is
      •  is generated automatically.
    2. For custom tables created within another application, an application prefix and a client instance prefix are added.
      Example
        • For example: consider that you are creating a table within the ITSM application (generally having the itsm prefix) on your instance.
      Vendor
        • The vendor has provided the instance client prefix for you. The title of the newly created table is "Table
      ". In this case, it will be named as
        • ." As a result, the itsm_instance_table name will be generated automatically.

      In table names, elements are

      conjuncted

      connected with the underscore symbol.
