Naming Files

Please get into the habit of naming your files. Include your Last name and a short description of the document.

Naming conventions include giving files unique names that indicate contents or the type of object.

Give files names that help others recognize the contents of the file. Consider using the following:

  • Use lowercase letters with uppercase (capital) letters. (see example)
  • Use a hyphen (-) or an underscore (–) instead of spaces
  • Use letters and numbers

Examples:

  • abrilWorkspace
  • abril_Workspace
  • abril2017-Workspace
