User name component identification

Specify identification information for the component, including the name, title and description of the component.

1. Type the name of the item in the Name field. The name of site areas and content items are used to construct the URL path for those items. Component names are used when referencing components in web content tags.
   • The value you type can contain only alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), spaces, and the following characters: $ - _ . ! ( ) ,

     A period " . " should not be used in an authoring template name, field name within an authoring template, a resource collection name or attribute name within a collection if using Personalization to personalize web content.

   • Do not use double-byte or non-ASCII characters.
   • You can create different item types with the same name, although this is not recommended.
   • You can create items of the same type with the same name so long as the path to the item is different. For example, you can create two categories with the same name so long as they are saved under different categories:
     • \taxonomyA\categoryA\shoes
     • \taxonomyA\categoryB\shoes
     • \taxonomyB\categoryB\shoes
   • Names are not case sensitive, so you cannot create one item named "News" and another item of the same item-type named "news" in the same path.
2. Type the title of the item in the Display Title field. The title is the text displayed to users when viewing a list of items. Unlike the name, titles can use double-byte and non-ASCII characters.

The text entered in the display title field is only used if an appropriate text label is not available from the selected text provider, or if the text provider is not available.
