Names
You supply the name for the new type that you are creating, renaming, or cloning. Because a VOB cannot contain a branch type and a label type with the same name, you should not adopt this naming convention:
- Use lowercase letters in names of branch types (a to z).
- Use uppercase letters in names of label types (A to Z).
Instances of the object type inherit the name.
Renaming
When you rename a type object, all instances of the type are renamed. When you rename a global type object, all instances of the type in all VOBs in the administrative VOB hierarchy are renamed.
Attention: Renaming a
type may have unintended consequences. For example, renaming a label type
may change the versions that are in a view if the view uses a label to select
versions.
