java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<FieldNamingStrategy>
- - com.smartgwt.client.types.FieldNamingStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<FieldNamingStrategy>
```
public enum FieldNamingStrategy
extends java.lang.Enum<FieldNamingStrategy>
implements ValueEnum
```
The strategy to use when generating field names - for example, for new formula or summary fields created using the built-in editors.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`SIMPLE` generate names in the format fieldTypeX, where field type might be "formulaField" and X is an index specific to the field-type and component instance
`UUID` generates a UUID for all generated field names

- Enum Constant Detail
  - SIMPLE
```
public static final FieldNamingStrategy SIMPLE
```
    generate names in the format fieldTypeX, where field type might be "formulaField" and X is an index specific to the field-type and component instance
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "simple".
  - UUID
```
public static final FieldNamingStrategy UUID
```
    generates a UUID for all generated field names
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "uuid".
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static FieldNamingStrategy[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (FieldNamingStrategy c : FieldNamingStrategy.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static FieldNamingStrategy valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
