Flows naming

As you can see the naming and structuring of flows is handled more or less differently by each one.
I have created folders for house levels, rooms and more or less devices (e.g. light, heating, blinds). In addition I created a folder (control center) with subfolders, in which Flows are stored, which cannot be clearly assigned to a room or individual devices, e.g. Flows for Heimdall.
Currently I have created my flows according to the following scheme:
Numerical listing / house level and room / device and action
1.0_FFBR_LightStripOn
1.1_FFBR_LightStripOff
2.0_FFBR_SealingLampOn
2.1_FFBR_SealingLampOff

FF = First Floor
BR = Bedroom

If I have a large number of dependent flows, the structure may look like this:
1.0.0_FFLR_xxx
1.0.1_FFLR_xxx
1.0.2_FFLR_xxx
1.1.0_FFLR_xxx
1.2.0_FFLR_xxx
etc.

Sometimes I add emojis to the name to make it easier to find them, e.g. a light bulb :bulb:.
Sometimes I add emojis that represent the trigger:
:alarm_clock: = Time
:stopwatch: = Timer (Chronograph app)
:signal_strength: = Sensor
:hash: = Numeric variable
:arrow_heading_down: = This flow was started

But I’m not 100% satisfied with my structure and it is possible that I will change the structure again.

@FKey has posted a tutorial how he structures his flows.
