Usage

This property is only available if Development Purpose is P (Palette) or T (Template).

Description

Palettes and their contents are made available in the Templates tab of the Resource Browser.

Uniface object names are restricted in length and type of characters, so you can use this property to provide a better and more readable name for the object than the Uniface object name. It should preferably be unique but this is not enforced.
