Attribute names

Attribute names

Reference 360 generates internal names for attributes based on the attribute names that you specify.

The following table explains how Reference 360 generates internal names based on attribute names:

Attribute Names	Internal Name
If attribute names contain only alphanumeric characters	The internal names use the attribute names in lowercase. For example, if an attribute name is Country, the internal name appears as country .
If attribute names contain alphanumeric characters with spaces or special characters	The internal names use the attribute names in lowercase without spaces and special characters. If a generated internal name is the same as an existing internal name, Reference 360 appends numbers starting from 1 to the generated internal name. For example, if an attribute name is United States, the internal name appears as unitedstates .
If attribute names contain only special characters	The internal names use the following format: field<n> , where n can be 1, 11, 111, and so on. For example, if an attribute name is @#$%, the internal name appears as field1 . If a code list contains any existing attribute as field1 , the internal name appears as field11 .

Step 2. Define the structure, attributes, and display settings of code lists
