Considerations
  • Object names:
  • Must start with an alphabetic character.
  • May contain only alphanumeric (a-z A-Z 0-9) and underscores (_).
  • May not contain spaces or other characters.
  • Must be 32 characters or less.
  • When objects are added using REST APIs, they do not have a corresponding data-entry Form that would allow them to be accessed and updated in the GUI. Such forms must be defined using the GUI.
