Generally speaking, you should use a name that allows you to identify what and how a particular IVR is being used. This will make it easier to configure related settings like the [queue IVR](https://help.gladly.com/docs/initial-ivr-and-queue-ivr). It will also make it easier to use the IVR search feature.
