A naming policy is a collection of rules that controls the names that may be
assigned to DNS resource records. Naming policies can be used to enforce a naming convention
and to prevent restricted words from being used in resource record names.
A naming policy is defined by assembling one or more naming policy values into
the required name structure.
To create a naming policy:
-
Select the Administration tab. Tabs remember the
page you last worked on, so select the tab again to ensure you're on the
Administration page.
-
Under General, click Naming Policy
Management.

Click the Naming Policies tab.
-
Under Naming Policy section, click
New.
-
Under General, complete the following:
- Name—enter a descriptive name for the
policy.
- Policy Value—select a policy value and click
Add. The item is added to the list. Repeat
this step to add more items to the naming policy.
- To adjust the position of an item in the list, select the item and click
the Move Up and Move Down
buttons to move the item up or down in the list.
OR
- Click and drag the item in the list.
- To remove a policy value from the list, select the item and click
Remove.

If you have defined naming restrictions, they appear in the Naming
Restriction list. Click the right and left arrows to add and
remove naming restrictions from the Selected list.
