Best Practices for UnifiedViews Data Units Naming

Naming of Data Units

It’s recommended to not use type of data unit in its name. If the DPU has only one input, it should be called 'input'. If the DPU has only one output, it should be called 'output'.

If the DPU also accepts dynamic configuration over the input data unit, please use 'config' as the name of the data unit.

Provide DPU Name and Menu Name

dpu.name = My DPU Transformer
dpu.name.menu = My DPU

Those are shown in the UnifiedViews UI - dpu.name.menu in the DPU trees, dpu.name in the DPU detail dialogs.
