Naming and Datatype Standards › The Naming Standards Editor

The Naming Standards Editor

Click Names on the Tools menu, then click Edit Naming Standards to open the Naming Standards Editor.

You use the features in the Naming Standards Editor to specify separate naming standards for logical and physical objects.

In the Glossary tab on the Naming Standards Editor, you can either import an existing names glossary or build one from scratch. You can define how these standards are implemented, and create entries including business terms, and abbreviations, that are relevant to your business. Naming standards information is saved in a naming standards file (*.nsm). For each model in which you use naming standards, you must attach a naming standards file. You can apply a naming standards file to multiple models.
