# ViewMissingName validation rule

> Validates that each view in the data model has a human-readable name. Ensures usability, maintainability, searchability, and AI-readiness.

This rule checks that every view in the data model has a human-readable name.

## Why it matters

A missing name makes it harder for users (humans or machines) to understand the purpose of the view.
This is important as views' external IDs are often based on technical identifiers or abbreviations.
Providing a clear name improves usability, maintainability, searchability, and AI-readiness.

## Example

A view with ID `CFIHOS-30000038` has no name. Users may find it difficult to understand what this view represents,
unless they look up the ID in documentation or other resources. However, adding a name such as `Pump` would increase clarity and usability.
