To edit any item in the Equipment View, right-click on it, and then select Edit Detail.
A window opens where you can rename the item. The window displayed depends on the type of item selected.
If an area, building, equipment room, vendor package, or field device is selected for editing, the appropriate information window is displayed. For example:

Note: The Last Edit field displays the date on, and time at, which the item data was last edited. The user name of the individual that performed the edit is displayed in a tool-tip when the mouse cursor is hovered over the field.

To display a list of all the changes to the equipment data, select the button to the right of the Last Edit field to open o display the Audit Manager, which will display a list of all the changes to the equipment data.
If a junction box, cabinet/panel, MCC, motor, local panel or compartment is selected for editing, the Equipment Layout window is displayed, in which the item details can amended. For further information on the Equipment Layout window, refer to Equipment Layout.
Notes: Renaming equipment automatically renames any references to that equipment (for example,
all cables in the cable schedule with a destination to the equipment, termination
report and drawings, references will be changed).
If a field device in the Equipment View represents an instrument from the Instrument
List (in Engineer) its Tag Number cannot be changed in Wiring Manager, only in Engineer.
Other details can be edited using the Equipment Information window.
