3.1.  Naming of Catalogs

"Physical" folder name for catalog

As the catalog name appears frequently at many different places, it is important to choose it short, clear and unique. E.g. at following locations this has to be considered:

  • eCAT SVN repository

  • Catalog License Key

  • PARTcommunity Admin

  • Piwik Analytics

  • etc.

Additionally it is important to always check if there is already a catalog with the target name existing at the mentioned places. It sometimes happens, that a supplier is CADENAS customer in different countries and of different subsidiaries. In such a case it should always be tried to create all data in one catalog. Only if this is really impossible, the catalogs should be separated with a name extension like „companyname_cn“ (e.g. for the chinese catalog), etc.

Catalog name - Catalog translation (Display name in PARTdataManager)

Beside the “physical” folder name (visible e.g. in PARTproject folder tree or Windows explorer) there is also a catalog name (see PARTproject > catalog main folder > tab General), which after translation (see PARTproject > catalog main folder > tab Translation), represents the finally shown name both in PARTdataManager, PARTcommunity and all other CADENAS end media.

Naming convention

Rules for the physical folder name

  • The name must be completely written in small letters

  • If the name consists of several words, then underlines (“_”) have to be used as separator

  • Don’t include company types like “llc”, “sarl”, “sa”, etc.

Rules for the display name

  • At least the first letter must always be a capital letter (even if the supplier has e.g. a small written name in the logo)

  • If possible also all further letters should be capital letters

  • Don’t include company types like “LLC.”, “S.A.R.L.”, “S.A.”, etc.

  • It has to be considered, that e.g. in case of asian companies, the name has to be translated into characters (like Kanji, etc.).
