Object Naming Conventions

Objects of all types are registered by name.

These constraints apply:

  • The object name must be unique across all custom objects types and standard nouns and application specific nouns. For example, if the InforOagis library is imported, a custom object with the name Sync.SalesOrder must not exist.
  • The object name is case-preserving, but case-insensitive. If 'MyDocument' exists, you cannot create 'MyDOCUMENT' except by overwriting the existing one.
  • The maximum length for an object name is 100 characters.
  • The object names for the metadata files cannot exceed 255 characters. This is including the path in the export file, for example: JSON/myObject/myObject.schema.json
