Question

What is the modeling convention for naming metaobjects?

4

Do I use CamelCase or under_scores, or both? And is there a difference in naming Objects, Modules, Associations, Forms, Microflows?

One of the naming conventions is CamelCase? Does anyone know why it is a best practice to use CamelCase? One reason I can think of is that in complex systems, when you create business rules you need to know exactly what variable you use. Are there other reasons? Will CamelCase be a best practice in future model driven tools?
