There is no standaard for name convention of microflows within Mendix. During the time there are some best-practises about using name convention of the microflows.  Below there is a list of microflows name convention for the different type of microflows.  

Prefix type	Meaning	Comment

Tips:

Name convention:

• MF triggers by an action : <prefix type>_<action to execute>
• MF that does something: <action to execute>

When you have a MF which is called by VA_ and OCh_, then the following:

• MF should be created with name <action to execute>
• VA_ --> Call MF <action to execute>
• OCh_ --> Call MF <action to execute>
