Appian Best Practices Info

roopeshv1 over 8 years ago

From where we can get information related to Appian Best Practices. For 16.3 version , I found two documents ,
1. Project_Implementation_Best_Practices_Checklist
2. Standard_Object_Names

but both of them recommend different conventions for few items. For e.g.
For "RULES" naming convention
1. Project_Implementation_Best_Practices_Checklist says "All Rule names use the form PREFIX_camelCase()"
2. Standard_Object_Names says "For Rules, use pascal case"

Please assist.

These are just suggestions for standard naming - it is subjective. They are not hard rules.
Lot of projects and people use PREFIX_camelCase. For eg: APN_displayBoolean is the name of a rule from "Common Appian Rules" application by Appian.
You can also refer the "Case Management app" created by Appian.
It uses both camelCase and Pascal case.
For eg: Here are few names of the rules from case management:
CASE_APP_CustomerDiffLabelValue
CASE_APP_createNewCustomer

One is camel case, another is pascal case. The prefix is CASE_APP.

So, you can use either convention. Both are fine.
But, once you decide which convention to use, follow it throughout the development of that application consistently.
