The relevant path will start with the first word, remove repeating words, and attempt to leave out intermediate words.

After deduplicating words, this option will start building column names starting at the tail end of the full path and injecting more if the result is not yet unique.

This will probably result in the most informative and shortest column names possible. Combining the start and only add secondary words to make the column unique.

Fact Oriented Modeling requires all fact types to be uniquely named. When a FOM Model is transformed towards a logical model, or implementation, the column names may become too long and elaborate. Therefor CaseTalk and the Viewer allow column names to be formatted using naming conventions.

A generated Project table may contain columns for project, manager and client. In the diagram it shows all resulting column names, depending on the algorithm preference.
