When you create an object in PerformancePoint Planning like a new Dimension, Model or Business Rule you must assign the object a Label and a Name. Besides choosing what type of naming conventions you want to use for each object in PerformancePoint it is important to consider the constraints for Labels and Names. First of all in most cases an object name has no reserved word or character restrictions and is should be designed to provide a user-friendly name for the object. However object names can be up to 256 characters in length with the following exceptions:
- Member property names can be up to a 100 characters
- Calendar Names and Calendar view names can be up to 40 characters, must be unique and cannot use restricted characters or reserved words
Labels on the other hands have a lot more rules and cannot exceed 40 characters. The Business Modeler also defaults the Label to the object name. This is fine if the object name does not violate any Label naming constraints for the object you are creating. Label restrictions exist for the following objects:
- Applications
- Model Sites
- Models
- Model Properties
- Rules
- Rule Sets
- Rule Parameters
- Dimensions
- Member Sets
- Member Views
- Associations
However, the following objects have no restrictions when assigning a Label (other than the 40 character limit):
- Member names
- Users
- Roles
- Cycles
- Assignments
- Jobs
- Job templates
For a list of restricted characters and reserved words do a search on "label rules" in the PerformancePoint Business Modeler help file and select "About name and labels" from the search result.
