Formulating Mnemonics
Here are some suggested guidelines for formulating the mnemonics used as element ID prefixes:
| Guideline | Example |
|---|---|
| Use the first 2-3 letters of the element name |
ag = Analysis Grid div = Division inp = Input Text |
| Use the first few letters of each sub-part of the element name |
dt = Data Table dl = DataLayer gm = Google Map sdac = SubData Aggregate Column |
| Use all or part of the element name without vowels (three letters max) |
dsh = Dashboard img = Image lbl = Label |
| Use sound-related, three-letter combinations |
btn = Button img = Image |
| Apply any of the above to the second part of a two-part element type |
pie = Chart.Pie ndl = Animated Gauge.Needle |
