Clean Up App Labels

Do you rename and clean-up the labels? Is there a best practice on renaming labels? I'm very particular on naming fields in Dataverse. Is it a good idea to the same in the app?

    Name conventions are probably more of a personal choice. The reasons to name them are basically having to do with making the code easier to read as well as finding the specific control you want in a list of controls. Rember that a name has to be unique to the app not just the screen. For example if you want both Header bars to be called HeaderBar, you will have to distinguish between them in some way to make them unique. I use things like:

     

    On home screen

    HS_SubmitBtn

    HS_UserNameLbl

    HS_NavUserProfileBtn

     

    This tells me the screen, the name of the control, and the type of control. This is a personal choice so just make it make sense to you and it will work well im sure! 🙂
