Naming conventions for assets

Nodes in the repository are subject to naming conventions of the Java Content Repository. However, Adobe Experience Manager imposes further conventions for the name of asset nodes.

The touch-optimized UI:

• Validates the name according to the restrictions:
  • an asset title is provided for conversion into the node name
  • an explicit node name is provided

The classic UI imposes tighter restrictions:

• Validates the asset name when an explicit node name when either:
  • an asset title is provided for conversion into the node name
  • an explicit node name is provided
• Valid characters (only these characters are actually valid when an asset is created from within the classic UI):
  • 'a' to 'z'
  • 'A' to 'Z'
  • '0' to '9'
  • _ (underscore)
  • - (dash/minus)
