It is possible to hide the element type when presenting the database elements in the explorer, in order to make the elements appear only by name. This can be done by unchecking the Element Type checkbox in the Explorer Settings:

This can make the appearance in the explorer easier to view.
Below are two examples of how this looks. In the first screen shot the Element Type is checked and in the second it is unchecked.


The rules of presenting elements when 'Element Type' is off are as below;
-
For named items, only name is displayed.
-
For unnamed items of build-in (system) type presented string is concatenated from "Reporter text" (RPTX) defined for the type followed by sequence number, for example, Equipment 1.
-
For unnamed items of user defined type, user-defined type name followed by sequence number is presented.
