  - The [cFS_IdentifierNamingConvention document](https://github.com/nasa/cFE/blob/main/docs/cFS_IdentifierNamingConvention.md) provides a simple naming convention guide for cFE/cFS for commands and telemetry that simplifies the EDS to ground telemetry and commands database conversion.

+### Using GitHub Actions Workflows
+
+Several of our GitHub Actions Workflows are used to ensure pushed code and pull requests do not break cFS, create vulnerabilities, and follow our code conventions. Other workflows are used for documentation purposes. 
+
+Most of the workflows in the NASA/cFS repository will run for all branches when code is pushed and a pull request is created, except for the changelog workflow that runs manually. 
+
+All of our workflows will be available for forked repositories once enabled. To enable workflows, navigate to the Actions tab and click "I understand my workflows, go ahead and enable them".
+
+#### View Failed Workflows
+
+1. Navigate to Actions in the selected repository. For newly forked repositories, enable workflows after clicking on Actions. 
+2. In the left sidebar, click the workflow you want to view.
+3. From the list of workflow runs, click the name of the run you want to see.
+4. Under Jobs or in the visualization graph, click the failed job.
+5. Any failed steps are automatically expanded to display the results.

+2. In the left sidebar, click the workflow you want to view.
+3. From the list of workflow runs, click the name of the run you want to see.
+4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and download the artifacts. For CodeQL results, navigate to the Security Tab and click Code scanning alerts. CodeQL results will only be avaiable on your forked repository.

+
+#### Configure Workflows
+
+1. Workflows are under [.github/workflows](https://github.com/nasa/cFS/tree/main/).
+2. Configure the files as needed. For more information on how to configure GitHub Actions, visit [Workflow syntax for GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions).
