You can view and edit batch terms used in PI BatchView and their corresponding custom names:
The left column lists the batch terms that can be renamed and is read-only. The right column contains a name that can be edited. If you do enter a custom name, the name in the left column is used. To enter custom names, enter or paste a new name in the corresponding field. Batch terms with blank custom names are considered undefined.
You can organize the list in one of three ways: categorized, sorted by batch term, and sorted by custom name:

Categorize the list into General, PIBatch, PISubBatch, PIUnitBatch, Results and Search Criteria table columns. Some terms are identical in two categories but have different meanings. For example, both PIBatches and PIUnitBatches have Batch ID properties that are separate entities. Some terms are repeated in two or more categories because, although they have the same meaning, they are represented differently in different contexts. For example, for a custom name set called airline, you can apply the term Still running to a PIBatch (Trip) as Incomplete and to a PIUnitBatch (Flight) as in Flight. |

Sort the list by batch term to find the exact term if it is known and the category is not known. In this view, terms with identical names are appended with the category they belong to. For example, Batch ID would appear in the list twice; once as Batch ID (PIBatch) and once as Batch ID (PIUnitBatch). |

|
Sort the list by custom name to find a custom name if you do not know the corresponding batch term. |
|
|
Show every batch term that can be renamed, whether or not a custom name has been defined. This mode is the best mode to use when entering new custom names. |
|
|
Show only those batch terms with defined custom names. This is useful when there are only a few custom names defined. The defined terms can be seen or edited without the clutter of the undefined terms. |
Note: The options you select are saved with each custom name set; reloaded name sets retain previously selected options. Therefore, each custom name set may have different settings.
