Calculate your package count.
For each row on your planning sheet, look in the
PLATFORMS
column. If you have chosen only one
platform (double underlined in example above), your package count is 1. If you have chosen both
platforms, your package count is 2. Record these numbers in the
PACKAGE COUNT
column.

Name each package
.
You are now ready to name your packages. Choose a brief but descriptive name for each package on
your list. If you have Mac and Windows versions of the same package, you may want to choose a
common package name and append “Win” or “Mac” to the name. Whatever name you choose, it
should allow you to easily identify that package with its intended user group and usage.
NOTE
: Since this package name is used to name the folder on your system that will contain the
package files, the same operating system constraints that apply to folder names also apply to the
package names you choose.
At this point, our example worksheet would look like this:
