Column Naming Conventions and Overhaul Checklists?

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has any tips or input on best practices when naming column in DirectoryIQ. I noticed Qualtrics defaults to camel casing for things like "FirstName" or "LastName" but I was thinking of doing something like SQL naming convention for better future migration just in case. Something like "first_name".



In addition, I have a Directory with a Project that triggers multiple columns into the Directory, however most, if not all of the column names are poorly named with bad practices. i.e.) "First Name"

Therefore I was thinking of doing an overhaul of all of the column names in the Directory AND the specific Project.

Off the top of my mind, I know I'll have to change Triggers, Survey Flows, and of course, Attribute names in Directory, but what I was to ask is if anyone can think of anything else that might mess up during my Column Name overhaul that I might've missed? Or if anyone has done something similar, I'd love some tips and tricks!
