# CommonPayloadKeys

The properties common to all payloads.

## Declaration

```data
object CommonPayloadKeys
```

## Properties

PayloadDescription: The human-readable description of this payload. This description appears on the Detail screen. PayloadDisplayName: The human-readable name for the profile payload. The name appears on the Detail screen and doesn’t need to be unique. PayloadIdentifier: The reverse-DNS-style identifier for the payload. This identifier is usually the same as the TopLevel value, with an additional appended component. This string must be unique within the profile. During a profile replacement, the system updates payloads with the same PayloadIdentifier and PayloadUUID in the old and new profiles. PayloadOrganization: The human-readable string containing the name of the organization that provides the profile. This value doesn’t need to match the organization payload value in the enclosing dictionary. PayloadType: The payload type, which each payload domain’s reference page specifies. PayloadUUID: The globally unique identifier for the payload. The actual content is unimportant, but must be globally unique. In macOS, use uuidgen to generate UUIDs. During a profile replacement, the system updates payloads with the same PayloadIdentifier and PayloadUUID in the old and new profiles. PayloadVersion: The version of this specific payload.
