Electronic – Connecting multiple Net Labels to same Net Wire

altiumgpioschematics

I am using Altium Designer 17. My schematics is Hierarchical and divided into multiple sheets.

Few sheets have microprocessor stuff and other schematics have sensors in it. I have to connect sensor's pins to GPIO pins of the processor.

Sheets in which GPIOs are taken out from schematics symbol of the processor uses conventions like GPIO_PIN_180 as Net Labels and sheets which have sensors uses names corresponding to the functions of that pin as Net Labels (For example, ACC_INT is a interrupt pin of accelerometer).

Now, I want to connect two different net labels but they give me warning/error like Nets with Multiple names. I know how to disable that warning or error but I don't want to disable it as it helped us in the past to find few bugs. I want to know Industry standard to handle such situations to make my schematics readable and acceptable to other experienced designers. enter image description here

The only way I know is a net-tie. For example to connect Power_GND with Ana_GND in a defined way.
