Rules for Study Names

Study names must be between 1 and 32 characters in length, and must be unique .

Note : Although the case of your study name is retained, case differences alone do not make a study name unique. For example, if you previously registered “ MYSTUDY ”, you cannot create another study named “ MyStudy ” until you delete the “ MYSTUDY ” variant. Also note that while both spaces ( ) and underscores ( _ ) are accepted in a study name, they are considered equivalent when determining uniqueness. For example, if you previously registered “ My Study ”, you cannot create another study named “ My_Study ” until you delete the “ My Study ” variant.

Acceptable Characters

Study names must start with a letter ( A - Z a - z ).

The second character through the second-last character can consist of:

•	letters: A - Z a - z

•	numbers: 0 - 9

•	spaces ( blanks )

•	special: ~ @ # - _ + .

The final character can be any of these, except for a period ( . ).

Caution : You should assume that characters not listed above are potentially problematic. Use them at your own risk.
