An appointment can consist of the appointment of someone to take on a position.
Designation , from the Latin designatĭo , is the action and effect of designating . This verb refers to pointing out or assigning someone or something for a purpose , to indicate or to name .
For example: “The appointment of the coach will be delayed two or three more days, as confirmed by the president of the club” , “I am eager for the appointment of the new head of the office” , “The governor announced the appointment of Roberto Patora as Minister of Environment" .
What is a designation
A designation can refer to a position or position assumed by a person. When an authority designates a subject to assume a responsibility, it is granting him certain powers in a certain area.
Appointments can occur at the government level or within a company .
In the workplace, the designation involves granting an individual a certain responsibility.
The term in Public Administration
Using the term at hand and closely related to this meaning explained last, we would have to refer to the concept of free designation . It is a procedure for granting jobs within the Public Administration that must always be carried out by previously complying with a series of mandatory steps as well as a set of requirements:
• There must be a report from the owner of the center in which the corresponding job is located, which will include the names of the most appropriate candidates to fill that position.
• Only career civil servants who belong to the same specialty as that one may apply for the aforementioned job.
• It is also important that the aforementioned officials who wish to perform this position present the corresponding candidacy so that they can be taken into account.
Designation as recognition
Designations can also be linked to choosing something to acquire a certain category. Thus, one can speak of the designation of a city as European Capital of Culture or the designation of an ancient church as a World Heritage Site .
In a similar sense, the designation can be the appointment of a person to receive an award or to access recognition: “The International Volleyball Federation announced the designation of Poh Jahn Liu as Best Player of the Season” , “The “The appointment of Michael Fanstein as a member of the institution's honor committee generated great controversy.”
The concept in industry and linguistics
In addition to all of the above, we would also have to clarify that the term in question is used within the industrial field. Thus, for example, it is stipulated that each and every cable has a designation that conforms to a standard, which serves to identify them and is made up of a set of numbers and letters.
Specifically, thanks to this alphanumeric combination, the person who has to buy a cable and has one before their eyes will be able to know aspects such as the commercial brand that made it, the type of armor it has, the outer covering it has, its driver or the regulations that have been followed to create it.
For linguistics , designation is a function through which people and objects are referred to.
