Naming Convention Guidelines - Fiddler Documentation

Core Fiddler Asset Naming Requirements

The following naming convention applies specifically to these core Fiddler platform assets: Projects, Models, Baselines, and Webhooks. Other elements in the platform may have different naming rules.

Required Format

Names must start with a lowercase letter (a-z)
After the first character, names may contain:
- Lowercase letters (a-z)
- Numbers (0-9)
- Underscores (_)
Names cannot contain uppercase letters, spaces, hyphens, or special characters
Each asset type has specific length requirements:

Fiddler Asset	Minimum Name Length	Maximum Name Length
Baseline	3	256
Model	2	30
Project	2	32
Webhook	2	127

Examples

Valid Names

model_1
test_project_2023
prod_env
my_baseline_123

Invalid Names

Model1 (starts with uppercase)
1_model (starts with a number)
test-project (contains hyphen)
my feature (contains space)
project#1 (contains special character)
m (too short for any asset type)
_test (starts with underscore)
extremely_long_name_that_exceeds_the_character_limit_for_models_and_projects (exceeds length limits for Models, Projects, and Webhooks)

Best Practices

While following the required format, we recommend these additional best practices:

Use descriptive names that indicate the purpose or content
Use underscores to separate words for better readability
Keep names reasonably short while maintaining clarity
Be consistent with naming patterns across similar items
Consider using prefixes to group related assets (e.g., prod_, dev_, test_)

Note on Other Platform Elements

This naming convention applies specifically to core Fiddler assets (Projects, Models, Baselines, and Webhooks). Other elements in the Fiddler platform may have different naming requirements or restrictions. Consult the specific documentation for those elements if needed.
