While going through naming convention and project initiation best practices documentation I came to know that in Standard Object names it says to use Pascal case for rule names whereas in project initiation best practices it describes to use camelCase. Usually we use applicaiton prefix and camelCase for rule names but would like to know.

There's a small difference between Pascal and Camelcase

With PascalCase, the first letter of every word in the name is upper case.

With camelCase, the first letter of the first word in the name is lower case, while the first letter of every subsequent word is uppercase.

That said, the Appian Center of Excellence recommends camelCase. I'll report this inconsistency so it gets fixed.

Actually discussing this internally, the most important piece of this best practice is to use a prefix. The rest does not matter per say so camel case or pascal case is valid.

Thanks Eduardo for the information. We are currently using PREFIX_ + camelCase rule name as described in the project implementation best practices.
