Rename an item

When you first add an item, change the default name for the item. The rename command runs automatically the first time an item is added to the project. Start typing to replace the default name and then press Enter to commit the name change. You can change the name of an item at any time.

A Studio item in your project hierarchy executes a particular function. For example, an item can be a field, a reporting point, or a data source. It has it's own properties and can be individually stopped or started.

Important: Renaming an item that has dependencies on this name can affect the functionality of your project.

Rename a menu item

• You can do either of the following items:

  • On the Edit menu, select Rename. The name displays in an editable text field where you can type a new name or right-click the item and click Rename.

    

  • Click once on the item name. The name displays in an editable text field where you can type a new name.

    

  • In the Properties pane for the selected item, select the text in the Name field then delete it and type the new name.

    

Note: You cannot assign the same name to more than one item at the same level in the project hierarchy.
