Setting Up and Managing Database Names in CAMS

In CAMS, databases have two types of names:

1. Short Code: A fixed identifier only visible to CAMS admins. It cannot be changed after creation.
2. Display Name: A user-visible name that can be updated as needed.

Steps to Set Up a Database Name (please contact CAMS team for new database creation):

1. Assign a Short Code:
   • Keep it simple and relevant since it’s permanent.
   • Character Limit: The shortcode typically has a limit of 10 Characters
   • Character Type: Letters and numbers only (no spaces/no special characters), should not be started with numeric.
2. Choose a Display Name:
   • Make it descriptive of the asset or project. It can be updated later.
   • Character Limit: Display names may allow up to 10 characters, providing flexibility for detailed descriptions.

How to Update the Display Name (Please contact CAMS team):

1. Go to Database Settings.
2. Edit the Display Name field and save changes
