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
