Step 2: Assign a Namespace

In this step you choose a unique identifier called a namespace. A namespace differentiates your packaged components from other components in your customers' orgs.

  1. In the sidebar menu, click Create | Packages.
  2. In the Developer Settings list, click Edit and on the following page click Continue.
  3. In the Namespace Prefix field, enter a 1-15 character alphanumeric ID and then click Check Availability. Repeat this step until you have a unique namespace.

    You might be wondering if the characters that make up your namespace are important. Not really. Try a shorthand for your company name or something easy to remember. The only people that see the namespace are developers.

    Note

  4. In the Package to be managed field choose your Warehouse Components package and then click Review Your Selections.
  5. Review the information on the page and then click Save.

Within the underlying code, your namespace is prepended to all components that are packaged from your dev org. This allows your package and its contents to be distinguished from those of other developers, and ensures your exclusive control of all packaged components.
