   Table 1 Desktop naming rules

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Naming Rule Name	A desktop naming rule can contain 1 to 30 characters in only letters, digits, and underscores (_), and must start with a letter or underscore (_).	-
   Username	Included: A naming rule contains the name prefix and username and is not applicable to desktop pools. Not included: A naming rule contains only the name prefix and applies to all scenarios.	-
   Name Prefix	A name prefix can contain 1 to 14 characters in only letters, digits, and hyphens (-), and must start with a letter or digit.	Username included: A + Username + B + 1 Username not included: A + 1
   Number of Digits	The value range is 1 to 5.	-
   Start Value	The start value is related to the number of digits. If Number of Digits is 1, the start value ranges from 1 to 9. If Number of Digits is 2, the start value ranges from 1 to 99. If Number of Digits is 5, the start value ranges from 1 to 99999. That is, the maximum Number of Digits of the start value is the value of Number of Digits.	-
   Increment for One Username	Yes: The value of Number of Digits increases in ascending order based on the sequence in which desktops are assigned to a single user. No: The value of Number of Digits increases in ascending order based on the assignment sequence of all desktops. NOTE: If Username is set to Not included, Increment for One Username is not available.	For example, let's assume that Number of Digits is 3 and Start Value is 1; and the second and eighth desktops are assigned to User A. When this parameter is set to Yes, the desktop names are UserA001 and UserA002. When this parameter is set to No, the desktop names are UserA002 and UserA008.
