When adding a prefix or a suffix, the following settings are available:

• Title and Alias: You can allow both title and alias to be used, or alias only.

• Fixed/App/User: If you select “Fixed”, you can add one or more words that will always be suggested as a prefix/suffix for all teamwork names. If you select “App”, you can select a property for teamworks from the list, to be used as a prefix/suffix. If that property is mandatory, it can’t be edited. If you select “User”, you can select a user property from the list, to be used as a prefix/suffix. The property will be populated according to the logged in user creating the teamwork. If that property is mandatory, it can’t be edited.

Important note! Naming policies for alias will not be applied to the SharePoint URL of teamworks based on a template of type Microsoft Teams.
