What problem does it solve?
Field naming across source, transform, data model, and UI in Qlik Sense is prone to inconsistencies that break associations, confuse users, and slow development. This guide codifies best practices so naming is predictable, traceable, and UI-friendly.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Entity-prefix dot notation for non-key fields to prevent accidental cross-table links and to improve self-documentation.
- Key field naming using consistent suffixes with HideSuffix, and the use of composite keys with the % prefix.
- Table naming conventions that distinguish dimensions, facts, and bridge/mapping structures, plus rules for temp tables.
- Variable naming conventions using the v prefix and alignment to final DataModel names.
- Cross-layer mappings with the Mapping RENAME technique to harmonize renamed business entities without duplicating data.
- Cross-layer naming strategy guidelines from Source to UI, including when to rename and how to apply field maps.
- How to handle reserved words and brackets for safe field naming.
Quick Start
Audit your Qlik app to apply entity-prefix naming on non-key fields and implement Mapping RENAME for DataModel changes.
