Define Naming Standards for a Logical Model

You can specify naming standards for logical names that are different from the naming standards for physical names. Use the Logical tab in NSM Option Editor to apply naming standards to entities, attributes, and domains. In addition, use this tab to specify the order in which parts of names appear in the logical name.

Follow these steps:

Expand the Model Explorer, right-click Naming Standard and click New.
A new Naming Standard object is added.
Right-click the new object and click Properties.
The Naming Standard Editor opens.
If you select the Physical to Logical check box, ensure that on the Tools > Model Naming Options > Name Mapping tab, you do not select the Use Glossary check boxes.
To apply the naming standard to your model:
- In the list of naming standards, select your naming standard and then select Is Active.
To preserve any changes made to the naming standard in the Physical mode and reflect those in the Logical mode:
- In the list of naming standards, select your naming standard and then select Physical to Logical.
- The physical mode to logical mode naming standard implementation caters to cases where the logical definition is absent.
- For Hive, when reverse engineering (REC or RES) is done, the Physical to Logical option on the Naming Standard Editor is not set by default. You need to set it manually.
Go to the Logical tab.
Select the part of the name such as prime, modifier1, modifier2, or class that you want to include first in the logical name. Specify the parts in the Entity, Attribute, and Domain rows.
Click Close.
The data is saved.
