Spanish term or phrase: Convenciones
This deals with installing and configuring an application for banking software.
The part I need help with is the word "Convenciones".
Basically they make a note saying that wherever values are placed in brackets, the person needs to replace them with their own programming names depending on the platform they are using.

Context:

Objetivo
El siguiente manual está orientado a describir el proceso de instalación de la aplicación XXXXX Banking Compliance – YYYYYY.

Convenciones
A lo largo del documento se presentarán una serie de valores entre corchetes (ejemplo [JBOSS_HOME]) que indica que son nombres de parámetros a reemplazar en función de la plataforma.
