It is recommended to name notebooks descriptively so that it is easy to understand their purpose and content. A good practice is to follow a consistent naming convention to help keep notebooks organized. These are some of general practices

  1. Use naming conventions that describe the notebook's function and contents. This can include the project name, dataset used, task name or category.
  2. Use dashes (-) or underscores (_) instead of spaces when separating words in the notebook name.
  3. Begin each notebook name with a prefix representing the notebook type or project name to easily identify related notebooks.
  4. Keep notebook names concise and limit them to 30 characters or less to ensure the name is fully visible in the Databricks workspace.
  5. Avoid special characters or symbols in notebook names.
