Naming conventions (nomenclature) - naming your plans / maps correctly

Using standardised naming conventions for your plans

Naming maps correctly is an important step to ensure you maximise the benefit of Land App, particularly in organisations with many users.

For the Map name:

  • Farm Name_Surname - "Manor Farm_Smith"

  • Estate Name_Surname - "ParkEstate_Smith"

For project/ plans name


We recommend that you follow the structure:

  • “Template Type_HoldingName, Surname” or "Template Type_HoldingName_Year"
