Recommended naming convention for Apps in Valotalive

Use consistent naming for your Apps to make them easy to identify and manage across locations and teams.

Written by Leonie

Use location and/or content description as the basis for your App names.

By data source

Ask yourself: What is the source file called?

For integration-based apps, name the app after the original source file β€” it makes it much easier to identify and manage later.

  • If the source is a PowerPoint file, name the app after that file

  • If the source is a Power BI report, use the report's name β€” and if you're only showing filtered pages or specific sections, include that in the app name too


By location

Ask yourself: Where will this content be shown?

  • UK London SharePoint Local News

  • SP Madrid Power BI Sales Output

  • All Locations (Internal) My Content Channel

Start with a country abbreviation, followed by the city, then the content type.


By use case

Ask yourself What is the content about?

  • SharePoint News Global Channel

  • HR Teams Announcements

  • Power BI Sales Output
