General FAQ - Tips for Names, Codes, and Labels

When creating items such as Questions, Sessions, Agenda Items, Attendee Types, etc. that require a Name, Code and another value titled either Label or Display, keep the following in mind:

• The Name is visible only within the Certain application itself, so it should be something that will identify the item to you, the planner.
• The Code appears in many areas of the interface where text is desirable.
• The Code may be included in lists on setup pages and the column headers of reports.
• Ensure it provides enough information about the item without being long.
• The Label or Display field provides the text that will appear on the online registration forms.
• It should therefore be user-friendly and might even instruct the attendee, such as "Please enter your Employee ID."
