Aboutfieldnames:
l
Fieldscannothavethesamename,unlesstheyarelocatedonadifferentlevelinthe
record(e.g.rootlevel,detailtable).
l
Itisrecommendedthatyoudo not use spacesinfieldnames.
Whenadatafieldisdraggedintoatemplate,thedatafieldnameisusedintheselectorof
thescriptthatiscreated,butanyspaceswillberemoved.
Also,datafieldsmaybeusedasMetadatainaWorkflowprocess,andspacesarenotper-
mittedinMetadatafieldnames.
TheorderoffieldsinanextractionstepmaybedifferentfromtheirorderintheDataModel.To
maketheDataModelclearerandmoremanageable,youcanchangetheorderofthefieldsinit
andcreategroupsoffields.Seealso:"OrderingandgroupingfieldsintheDataModel"on
