Names in Querki
TODO
- Three different kinds of "name"
- Display Name: the human-readable name, which can include pretty much anything and can be duplicate
- Link Name: the computer-readable name for URLs and QL, made up of letters and numbers
- Link Name is always unique -- "kicker" number will be added if necessary
- Link Name can include spaces, sometimes substituted as dashes or plusses
- Link Name is usually derived from Display Name
- Uncheck the box in Model Designer / Advanced Editor if you want the Link Name to be something different
- OID: the Object ID of this Thing
- All Things have OIDs, assigned at creation
- OIDs are always unique
- OIDs can not be changed
- OID looks like
.3y286i5
-- starts with a dot, then alphanumeric. (Actually a long number under the hood.)
- All three Names visible in the title and subtitle of ordinary Thing pages
