The parts of a survey form name
Life Cycle Topics " " Stand Alone Topics
Example survey name : KBMAP_BL_HH_v1
Project KBMAP The name of the project, use an abbreviation or other short form.

A server is usually linked to only one project, so this part does not matter as much on the server. But all data associated with this questionnaire will be tagged with this name, and there the project name is indeed useful.

Any project name. Do not use survey round (baseline, follow up, back check etc.) or unit of observation (household, village, school etc.)
Survey round BL Indicates which survey this is within the project.

Since a difference in name here indicates a different data set on the server, then we want to differentiate between baseline and baseline pilot, as we do not want to mix pilot data with real data.

Baseline (BL), Baseline pilot (BLpilot), Endline (EL), monitoring data, population listing etc.
Unit of observation HH What type of respondents will be interviewed? Household, school, etc. It is both needed to separate multiple survey within a survey round (doctor/patient, teacher/school), but it is also helpful documentation to anyone using the data set in the future. Household (HH), village, civil servant, etc.
Version v1 This is different from the setting version. When you are developing a questionnaire you use the version setting to indicate to the server that you have made updates. After you are happy with your updates (that usually takes testing several uploads) you update the version number in the name, and download this new version to the tablets. The reason why this is important is explained below (KB: link to that section). Number them in natural order, v1, v2 etc.
