Nov Bb Tip: When creating names on Bb items or adding file attachments, know which characters to use! The wrong special characters and spaces can add or change HTML code that websites read and use to process commands.

DO use these characters:

• letters (both upper and lower case)
• numbers
• period sign (.)
• underscore sign ( _ )
• hyphen sign (-)

Do NOT use these special characters:

• percent (%)
• dollar sign ($)
• pound sign (#)
• greater/less then signs (< >)
• equal sign (=)
• forward/back slash ( \ / )
• exclamation point (!)
• questionmark (?)
• at sign (@)
• avoid spaces as much as possible in file names (use the underscore or hyphen instead)
