Administrative labels and names – Best Practices

New Actions and Emails get “Administrative Names” that you create. You see these names but the public does not, except possibly as part of a filename or URL.

You can make finding your work among all the other stuff in the list easy.  A “Best Practice” is to start with your initials and add the date in the format “RBS180219” or [initials]YYMMDD.  Most lists in Action network have a small magnifying glass icon that reveals a search box when you click it. If you type your initials all of your work will be listed in chronological order.  If you continue typing the year and month your list will contain only work named in that year and month.

In addition, your colleagues will be able to see who created the email, report, action, or whatever – so they know who to ask before messing with it.
