# name - Views

> Reference name for the view, implicit in the file name.

Reference name for the view, implicit in the file name. This parameter is how the view and the fields it contains are referenced, independent of the labels applied.

<Note>
  View names are automatically generated from database table names. The naming convention can be affected by your connection's [**Always Scope View Names**](/connect-data/view-name-generation) setting, which controls whether catalog and schema prefixes are included.
</Note>

## Syntax

```yaml theme={null}
# Reference this view as view_file_name
```

## Properties

<ParamField path="name" type="string">
  The name used to reference the view, derived from the file name. Cannot be explicitly set in the file.
</ParamField>

## Examples

In this example, if the file is named `ecomm__users.view`, the view will be referenced as `ecomm__users`, regardless of the `label` parameter.

```yaml title="View name from file name" theme={null}
# Reference this view as ecomm__users
schema: Ecomm
table: Users
label: Users With Orders
```
