Improve documentation for Shortname on Manage IPT Tab

[kbraak]

When creating a new resource at the bottom of the Manage Resource tab in the IPT, would
it be possible to replace the existing shortname sentence in the instructions, with
this statement included in the documentation on the wiki,

"First, a unique "shortname" must be provided for the resource. This short name will
be used to uniquely identify the resource within the IPT instance, and will be used
within the URL to access the resource via the Internet. The shortname must be at least
three characters in length, may contain alphanumeric characters, but must not contain
white space or punctuation other than hyphens or underscores (e.g., "firstresource"
or "first_resource", but not "first resource" or "firstresource!"). "

OR

could that statement be included within an information button next to the shortname
header?

Note: this recommendation stems from one manager I have on our IPT who has been setting
up and managing his own resources and database connections.  He was a first thinking
that shortname was rather inconsequential and was unaware that the shortname became
part of the URL.  He felt that more information about what shortname was upfront before
the resource is created would be helpful and I agreed with him.

Thanks.

Great. 

It will require an update in the user manual too before closing.
